Sequoia sempervirens (PB6.5) is a majestic, fast-growing evergreen tree (30–50m) known for its stately pyramidal form and thick, reddish-brown bark. Ideal for large Auckland gardens, lifestyle blocks, or shelterbelts, it provides a dramatic focal point and high-quality timber. Grow in full sun to partial shade in deep, moist, well-draining soil. Hardy and wind-tolerant once established, though it prefers sites sheltered from salt-laden winds.
