growing GIANT SEQUOIA- Sequoiadendron giganteum in India

[Clear Cut]

An excellent source for ecological and management information can be 
found at:

giganteum.htm

Compare your growing site to the conditions where giant sequoia grows 
natively.  They like water, they like nutrients - in other word good to 
excellent site conditions.

The most serious disease when planted outside of their native range 
appears to be Botryosphaeria sp. 

The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection collects seeds 
and grows seedlings.  They may sell seeds or direct you to a source.
