Young redwood citizen [I Love Trees]

@Mugin16 Yes, the cones come from a relatively young tree though.


My father did. He used some varied soil mixture though and now he's not sure if it was a good idea.

@CrazyMusicLover What a masssive tree! How did it end up in Slovakia?

Just ignore the little fellow...water only when the soil is dry...don’t stare...they’re shy! 🤭@CrazyMusicLover

@Vivaci But I have read that plants like it when you talk with them and touch them.

P.S. Have you seen my PM? And the video where I tagged you in my Classic Music thread?

@Vivaci Aww, it 's shy...I'll be looking surreptitiously. 🥺 😱😆

@Mugin16 That’s true bout any grown up plant. 😆 They even like to be touched, spoken to, and opera! 😂 I’m not even kidding you...

@Vivaci They like opera? 😲

@CrazyMusicLover I swear....I was taught that as a kid...and recently reminded bout it by mom when most of my saplings died due to [b]over caring[/b]! 😕

@Mugin16 😆 and peaceful music! Yes!

19th century aristocrats liked to plant sequoias in their manor parks. So we don't have any truly old sequoias, these are still youngsters. 😁

Interesting! You know most of the European trees that are now part of San Francisco’s green pride were also part of such a exotic park by American aristocrats and immigrants. @CrazyMusicLover

@CrazyMusicLover Very interesting! Wow - thinking that trees planted in the 19th century are still youngsters!

@Mugin16 They call them toddlers. 🤭 But technically, they are evidently sexually mature adults if they can produce offspring.

@CrazyMusicLover How old do they get?

@Mugin16 Giant sequoias? I read this: [quote] Giant sequoias are the third longest-lived tree species with the oldest known specimen to have been 3,266 years old[/quote]

@CrazyMusicLover Oh wow!
