This incredible species has a most massive trunk, and is one of the oldest of all trees, some estimated to have lived 3000-4000 years. Their natural habitat is the granitic, rocky soil of moist mountain sites of the western slope of the Sierra Nevada, where they are found mostly at 4500-7500 elevation. Surprisingly, they do very well in this area. They are very cold hardy and grow well in our long hot summers. Deep soil and a plentiful supply of water yield the fastest growth, up to 4ft a year. They may reach 80ft or more in cultivation. Zones 6 - 8 TAXODIACEAE
