Sequoia sempervirens 'Monty' - Majestic Beauty Coast Redwood

There is only one species of Sequoia. It is an evergreen relative of Florida's native bald cypress. Coast redwood is native to coastal California. This is one of the largest tree species in the world. Redwood can be very long lived. One tree is known to be over two thousand years old. Redwood timber is rot resistant and was once used extensively for outdoor construction. This variety, 'Majestic Beauty' was selected for its dense growth and pendant branches.

This plant was contributed by Jacksonville landscape designer, Larry O'Neil. Little is known about this tree's success in northeast Florida. Plants have been grown successfully in the southeastern United States.
