Thanks to Adam Gillotti for sending us a picture of the giant sequoia he purchased from us in July 2017. Adam said, “I live in Indian Hills Colorado, Zone 5B, Elevation 7000. It’s put on over a foot of growth so far, currently 40 inches tall with 36 inch spread”. Image taken in 2018

Adam Gillotti also sent us a picture of what he uses to protect his tree in the winter. He said he built a wire cage and wrapped it in burlap. It did flawlessly in protecting again dehydration, since the snow volume is unpredictable in his area. He lives in Indian Hills area.

Update from a Boulder resident in February 2025:  “I think we all had wished it greatness, but unfortunately it died last summer and was cut down late fall/winter. It had plenty of water in the city park there and by the nearby river, but I think these hot summers we get and all the sunlight proved to be too much. In addition, lawnmowers would mow underneath it, and all the bottom branches were damaged and gone.
