Sequoia sempervirens 'Woodside Blue'
Woodside Blue Coast Redwood
Description
This fast-growing, aromatic tree has soft, dark green foliage with long needles appearing in flat sprays and brown, barrel-shaped cones that appear after 1 year. Its soft, red-brown bark is fiberous and furrowed. Particularly after mechanical damage, this tree will stump sprout to form new, young trees around the stump. Avoid planting in areas of high foot traffic. This plant is fire-prone! Please use caution when planting near your home.
