The ancient and old-growth trees collected and propagated by Archangel turn out to be some of the oldest, best known, and most important trees on Earth. Many have asked for details about some of our trees.
Here are links to information about a few of the trees we have collected since our beginning in 2008.
Coast Redwoods
The celebrated Fieldbrook Stump
Sonny’s Redwoods – our friend Sonny and his passion for these majestic trees
Giant Sequoia
The Alonzo Stagg Tree – the fifth largest tree in the world
The Waterfall Tree – the largest circumference at ground level of any living tree
Michael Taylor’s Landmark Trees – list of the largest Giant Seqouias
Irish Collection
The King Oak and Queen Oak – from one of Ireland’s oldest Oak forests
Good Photos of the King Oak
The King’s Oak: Ireland’s Holy and Magical Trees
Ancient Irish Oaks

Raheen Woods
The Brian Boru Oak
Tuamgraney’s mighty oak was growing at time of Brian Boru

Can I get a startup sequoia to raise?
Thanks
We are currently working with Giant Sequoia, but the propagation process takes some time before we are able to offer them for growing. We anticipate having these available some time in 2012. Best thing to do is sign up for our newsletter to be among the first to learn when we’re ready to start shipping these amazing trees. Thank you for your interest.
Good morning. I’m working to help my father cultivate a grove of Giant Sequoia (sequoia dendron giganteum) in Northern Michigan. Are these trees available yet? Thanks!
I am anxious for the Coast Redwoods and the Giant Sequoia.
dude, i am excited about the same trees! I am going to make a ” druid grove” in east texas outa these trees! who knows , maybe 30 or 40 years from now it will turn into an eco tourism spot!
Remember to Hug a Tree on Earth Day, Friday April 22nd.
FYI: Once the Giant Sequoia is ready for purchase I will plant one next to where my Father’s ashes are on the Sonoma Coast in N. California. He loved Redwoods and he taught me the value of serenity in nature.
PS: The next stray cat you see, please say hello! Meow!
I am anxious to plant some of these trees on our farm! I’d like to replace some of the giant oaks that have been lost to mother nature…
What an amazing organization…Thank you!
Lots of excellent reading here, many thanks! I was seeking on yahoo when I uncovered your publish, I’m going to add your feed to Google Reader, I look forward to much more from you.
I think it would be great if you’d give some information about where these future trees will be able to thrive. I live in the Northeast and would love to plant some here but will they thrive here and is there any danger of planting a non native tree here?
Which species of redwood or sequoia is most hardy in a zone 4-5 (Northern Lower peninsula of Michigan)? Thanks.
i think whatyour doing is great. but as far as clones go they are 100 percent of the parent dna but they are infeore as far as growth. i found this out in pot you get a great feamale and you clone it i know some growers that have lines over 15 years old they are not as strong as the origional parent but here’s the kicker when crossed with other supieor plants there seed is just like comming from mama. so the next thing to say is cross these freaks of nature to each other and get the five star seed
I cannot wait to purchase a Sequoia for my brother who has 93 acres.His children will be telling their children and then their children and on and on ……
I wood love a tree that wood grow in the Pensacola Florida area . I also have a great idea to raise money for your cause . Raffle of art work on -line or out in the public. I am willing to donate a piece of my art work. If you would like to give this idea a try. Please contact me by phone or e-mail if your interested
thanks for your time and energy to are world beautiful.

Stories are told in Weeki Wachee (west central Florida) near the Gulf that there exists the stump of an ancient cypress harvested in the ’20’s that would have computed to be well over 200 feet tall. What ancient trees are best suited for this area?
Three years ago I purchased a three-foot “Sequoia” in container, in Charlotte, N.C. I planted it at the edge of a 15-foot sand bluff above saltwater Dutchman’s Creek, between Southport and Caswell Beach/Oak Island, N.C., on the mainland. Tall slash pines grow well there. And the Long Leaf Pines after four years of not much (grass state), are takeing off.
The Sequoia is about six-feet, shooting out long low branches. As I’ll need to see the water beyond them, I will eventually cut the lower branches off. First I bowed the middles into containers of sand, put a brick to hold the center down, scared the bottoms with “rootone”, but no roots formed. So I cut the lower branches off, cut their growing tips off, rootoned the ends, and they are all surviving on their own (two months). No idea about roots?
I’d like to try a “Coastal Sequoia”, but am not sure what the difference is?
Below the bluff, before the saltwater Dutchman’s Creek, I have a narrow, five-foot deep, fresh water lake where the alligator stays in the winter (summers they also show up in saltwater). Years ago I planted still surviving, but very slow growing swamp Bald Cypress there, and one Dawn Redwood in the fresh water with the Swamp Cypress). The (Chinese) Dawn Redwood had been planted atop the sandy bluff, survived three years, but did not grow. I planted it on dry land below the bluff (three feet above sea level), and again it just survived. Then I said the heck with it, and planted the Dawn Redwood in fresh water with the Bold Cypress, and it’s growing like they do, slowly, in fresh water. I thought the Dawn redwood would die in fresh water, five feet deep.
Post script: My home-lot abuts nuclear power plant land, but is at least two miles from the reactor.
Down the center of old saltwater Dutchman’s Creek is the power plant’s hot water canal which is open, then via pipes, flows beneath the Inland Waterway, beneath Caswell Beach, and below the ocean to a hot water outlet perhaps a third mile off shore.
In the winter, one often sees mild steam arising from the (salt?) froth of the canal’s spent water. Any effect this may have on my Sequoia, is diminished by a span of perhaps 300 yards of normal salt water Dutchman’s Creek, to my shores. Dutchman’s Creek is far vaster on the opposite, Southport side of the creek.
How much do you sell the trees for?
Please add the Kauri Trees of New Zealand to your plans of cloning. They are as ancient and huge as the Redwoods but so ancient they are more like ferns than our current trees.
We hope to be able to raise the funds to do a Kauri project in the future. They are magnificent trees!
Good morning. I’m working to help my father cultivate a grove of Giant Sequoia (sequoia dendron giganteum) in Northern Michigan. Are these trees available yet? Thanks
this is wonderful what you are doing. I’m doing a small project of grafting a few fruit trees that are old and abandoned but produce fruit that is clean with out spraying. It is hard to graft from an older tree but am having a bit of success, I”ll know when I get some apples and pears to grow! I wanted to tell you about an ancient tree in Silver Lake, Ohio (NE Ohio) it is a willow I would guess it is close to 1,000 years old if it is still there. It is on the south side of the lake right next to Kent road.
Just heard about your great organization on NPR Weekend Edition.
I am a devoted tree lover and have gathered seed from some of our state’s champion trees and started saplings from our “Pinchot” Sycamore and champion white oak.
I’m also a potter who makes “tree mugs”, mugs with tree handles, and mugs with tree leaves as decoration. I’d be happy to donate a set if you have fundraisers/auctions that would benefit from tree-related items to sell. I’d need 4-6 weeks notice for production and firing but I’d love to help.
We have a large piece of land in northern NJ (07039) and I have plans to plant a variety of native woodland plants and trees. I realize the Sequoia isn’t native to the area, but there is plenty of space and water for one. I am interested in planting and caring for several of them. Please let me know how I can get a few saplings to plant.
Thank You
