Before the last ice ages, the sequoia was also native to Europe. The reintroduction in Württenberg goes back to King William I (1781-1864), at whose request, a pound of seeds was purchased from California. These came in 1865 for sowing in the Kalthaus the Wilhelma. Some of the seedlings grown from it were planted in the forests. Today they are up to 50 m high and have a trunk diameter of 2 m (for example Wüstenrot, Welzheim, etc.).
