Sequoiadendron giganteum. (giant sequoia) I planted a little giant sequoia that is not so giant for now. I am happy that it's growing, since i already planted one in the same spot that died previously. Along with my eucalyptus regnans and my sequoia sempervirens it completes the trinity of really tall trees. a couple of branches are brown but the crown of the tree lookes healthy. Also when i ordered it i noticed that it was quite badly damaged with one third of the bark at the bottom missing due to a wound. I am glad that it healed itself and now the sky is the limit. If i mulch it and protect it, it should turn into a huge tree.
Avocadoes. I am trying to grow avocadoes in my polytunnel and outdoors. I managed to obtain Del Rio avocado seeds and 5 seedlings are growing under plastic. They survived the winter but the smaller ones suffered more than the larger ones so i wonder if it's the seedlings size or if some are hardier. This is the biggest and also the best looking Del Rio seedling after the winter. It had the least leaf damage. One of the two small seedlings that both suffered most damage. And the second small one. Then there is two medium sized ones They both look pretty good so i am asking myself if the size determines hardiness or if hardiness determines size. In other words, has the largest of the 5 seedlings the least leaf damage because it's larger, (and then the other ones could be the same when they get bigger) or did its inherited frost resistance help it along all the w...
