Coast Redwood Starter Tree

Coast Redwood

Sequoia sempervirens

Overview
Coast Redwood is a striking and unique bonsai species, prized for its towering presence in nature and its graceful, feathery foliage in miniature form. Native to the foggy coastal regions of California, it brings a sense of age and quiet majesty to bonsai design. With time, it develops a soft, fibrous bark and elegant structure that evoke the feeling of ancient forests.

Care
Coast Redwood thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers consistently moist soil. Unlike many bonsai species, it does not tolerate drying out and should be watered regularly to keep the soil evenly damp. Good drainage is still essential to prevent root issues.

This species responds well to pruning and can backbud reliably, making it suitable for structural development and refinement. It benefits from regular feeding during the growing season and protection from extreme heat or dry conditions.

Why Grow It
A distinctive and fast-growing species that captures the spirit of ancient forests while offering flexibility and responsiveness in bonsai cultivation.
