Sequoiadendron giganteum 'Barabits Requiem' – Sequoiadendron giganteum 'Barabits Requiem'

View prices and availability
A conifer with a bizarre growth pattern, with branches hanging down sharply, but some grow in a more or less horizontal, undulating pattern. These branches have twigs that hang straight down. The main trunk sometimes grows in an undulating fashion as well. This ultimately produces an exceptional, irregular growth pattern that is pre-eminently suited for solitary planting. The growth pattern is quite similar to that of the cultivar 'Pendulum', however the branches of 'Barabits Requiem' grow more sideways. Height approx. 15 m and width 3 - 4 m. Overfertilisation caused the loss of the original parent tree, discovered by M. Barabits of Sopron, Hungary. Luckily, a few grafting plants were spared, which is why they were named 'Barabits Requiem'. This cultivar is stronger than 'Pendulum' in all respects. The tree is difficult to transplant.
