The majestic Sequoia sempervirens 'Aptos Blue', a California native, is renowned for its striking beauty and resilience. Its reddish-brown bark, not only attractive but also thick, fibrous, and fire-resistant, lends the Redwood its iconic name. Though Sequoias can soar to impressive heights in their natural California habitat, in cultivation, these regal giants grow smaller, typically 60-90 ft. tall.
'Aptos Blue', a cultivar known for its fast-growing, pyramid-shaped form, features horizontal branches and graceful, pendant branchlets adorned with dense, flat, dark blue-green needle-like leaves. Perfect for adding height, structure, and an ethereal touch to landscapes, the Aptos Blue Redwood tree is an excellent choice for coastal gardens or any space seeking a bold, yet tranquil presence. Versatile, it can be planted as a hedge, creating a living wall of greenery, or in groves.
