Giant Sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) in Geopark Schwäbische Alb

One of the redwood trees, which were distributed 1865/1866 after rearing in the Stuttgart Wilhelma in whole Württemberg.

Sequoia tree over 150 years old. Comes from Wilhelma breeding. A pound of sequoia seeds have been ordered in the United States. Unfortunately, you didn't know that the tree that was so huge had tiny seeds. So 100,000 seeds arrived in Stuttgart. This wonderful tree grew from one of these seeds.

Since there were arithmetically around 200,000 sequoia seeds in 1865, there are countless places to find sequoia trees from this period, which of course all look about the same. Yes, they are quite impressive, but once you have seen a tree like this, you probably know them all. At least they look about the same everywhere we've seen them. But if you have never seen them, they are quite impressive, even if they are very young compared to the Americans.
