About
Sequoiadendron giganteum 'Pygmaeum' is a very slow-growing, dwarf cultivar of the giant sequoia forming a compact mound with the characteristic scale-like, dark-blue-green leaves of the species on a miniature plant. A rewarding and unusual conifer for a large rock garden or well-spaced border.
