2/11 [restoring previous question]. I've heard that it's illegal to take
anything out of national parks. Is this true? I'm thinking of getting
redwood and sequoia seeds out of their respective forests. Thank.
\_ Yes, it is. More to the point, what's wrong with your local
nursery? --dim
\_ Local nurseries don't carry the seeds that I want. I've
searched everywhere near the bay area. Redwood seeds I can find,
but not giant sequoia. And after watching nova's program on
the methuselah tree, I want some bristlecone pine seeds as well.
\_ Forget about seeds. Just buy the tree already grown. You
*can* find giant sequoia in containers. I've seen it. I
hope you're not planning on tearing out a many-thousand
year-old bristlecone pine. You can get that from a
nursery, too. For giant sequoia:

I don't recommend the pine. Grows 4 feet in 14 years. Couldn't
find a *local* grower, but there is probably one. Otherwise,
ship from out-of-state. http://www.seedrack.com has seeds
for both trees, btw. --dim
\_ Really? I took a big pine cone from Yosemite, or more precisely,
somewhere near the top of the 2nd waterfall of the Vernal Falls
trail. Now I have to bring it back. :( |
