We got this tree in 2004, the year after we moved in here. I remember driving downtown to the Smith's Marketplace to look for a Giant Sequoia in their garden center since it was advertised in newspaper. It fit into a garbage can in the bed of my truck for the drive home. It thrived for years, growing up to its current height of 40+ feet.
The last 3 or 4 years though, it has struggled. It would turn brown in the winter and green up in the summer. We attributed this to winter sunburn. Maybe? Last summer it was browning more than greening and this winter it was entirely brown. Time to say goodbye. Skyler gave the tree a hug as we prepared to start de-limbing the tree in preparation to cut it down.
He got a new pair of leather gloves at Ace Hardware Friday evening. He was working rather hard using the hand saw.
