Giant Sequoia seedlings
I had 3 Giant Sequoia trees that I finally gave up on after 4 years. The branches would grow out to about 10 inches and then the tips would start turning brown then work back until the entire branch had died off. New buds would break from the trunk and the process would start all over again. The crown was growing vigorously but the lower branches would not stay alive. I was fertilizing on the same schedule as all my other trees and they suffered no ill effects. When I finally pulled them to toss into the compost pile the roots were healthy and vigorous. I could not figure out what was going on so I posted a message on the other forum concerning this and recieved a reply from Brent Walston and he said he gave up on them also after running in to the same problem. Hopefully since you are in So Cal you will not run into the same problems I had with them in Nor Cal.
