Growing Giant Sequoia in Georgia: Possible with Care

Giant sequoia is hardy in Zones 6–8 (Cleveland is Zone 7). Pot seedlings in 10″ pots, keep in bright shade. Winter: plunge pots in ground near house. Spring: plant in morning sun/afternoon shade with lots of river sand in a deep, wide hole—sequoias hate wet feet.
