Sequoias are truly extraordinary trees–they are magnificent giants of the tree world. Their natural California habitat range falls within USDA Zone 9, in elevations between 4000 and 8000 ft, but they can be successfully grown outside of their native region in outdoor areas hardy to USDA Zone 6 and kept as young potted trees with a little extra care. With distinctive cinnamon-colored bark and growing to a massive size, Sequoias are truly awe-inspiring. Individual trees growing in their native environment can be thousands of years old, average a 40 ft spread, and grow hundreds of feet tall. 

Best Locations For Growing Sequoia Tree

Caring for a Sequoia tree in a pot will be crucial to providing it the support it needs to eventually be grown in a large, open sunny area. They are fast growers, often at a rate of 4 - 6 feet per year. You will need to acclimate your tree slowly to the outdoors, by providing a location that has partial shade and in a few weeks, slowly move it closer to an area that has full sun. Sequoias need to be planted in moist, very loose, well-draining soil. They will not tolerate dry or heavy clay soils or extreme temperature fluctuations. 

Sequoia Tree Sunlight Requirements

Place a young Sequoia tree in bright indirect light and gradually move it closer to direct sunlight over a few weeks; eventually, it will get acclimated to being in full sun the entire day. 

Sequoia Tree Care

Plant this tree in a well-draining soil, rich in organic matter with plenty of coconut coir and perlite to accelerate drainage. It will not tolerate dry soils, soggy soils, or extreme temperature fluctuations. Keep a regular eye on the moisture content of the soil by feeling a few inches into the pot. Place it in bright indirect light when you first receive your tree and slowly acclimate it to bright direct light. Because of their fast yearly growth rate, you may have to repot your Sequoia in a larger pot every year or two, eventually planting outdoors. 

Watering Sequoia Tree

Plant this tree in a pot that has plenty of drainage holes, keep the soil moist but not soggy, and avoid letting the soil completely dry out or become waterlogged. Regularly check the soil moisture with a soil probe or with your finger.

Feeding Sequoia Tree

High-salt fertilizers can burn your young tree roots, so avoid balanced fertilizers such as  10/10/10 or similar. Instead, you can apply organic fertilizers such as fish, alfalfa, or kelp formulas at a diluted strength.
