4 sequoias from seeds imported from America around 1850. For me as a tree fan an absolute highlight. I measured the largest tree here at a height of 1 m and a circumference of 7.20 m.
The bark is also so different from native trees: quite soft, feels like coconut fibers. Later I found another - smaller - sequoia tree on the way. Recognizable by the special bark and the tree structure, which is impressive. This must have collected from the big ones.
