Sequoia sempervirens 'Aptos Blue'
A fast-growing coast redwood selection with blue-green foliage and a broad pyramidal habit.
Growing in Southern California
- Light: Full sun on mild sites. Give young trees some protection from hot afternoon sun.
- Water and soil: Provide regular deep irrigation and keep soil evenly moist but well drained. Mulch the root zone and keep mulch clear of the trunk.
- Mature size and growth: Fast-growing, large evergreen. Plan for a tree exceeding 70 feet tall over time, with ample canopy and root space.
- Wildlife: Evergreen canopy provides shelter and nesting cover. Wind-pollinated.
- Care and uses: Use as a specimen or screen on spacious, irrigated sites. Keep clear of overhead lines and hardscape. Preserve the main leader and avoid topping.
