Sequoiadendron giganteum 'Pendulum'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Evergreen Tree

Plant Description: Green foliage with a slight dusty gray hue covers tightly held, draping branches that go straight down parallel to the trunk. It is typical for this evergreen tree to have a top that curves and twists, making it a beautiful specimen in any landscape.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Tree - Evergreen
Plant Care: Tree - Evergreen (single-stemmed woody plants that keep their leaves during winter): Light pruning is required to maintain desired shape and to avoid branching problems such as double-leader stems. Evergreen trees can be difficult to establish. Adequate winter moisture is critical for the first 2-3 years until the roots establish. If there is a dry winter check the root ball with your finger for moisture before watering. Monitor for pests and diseases.
