Sequoia sempervirens ‘Adpressa’

Sequoia sempervirens 'Adpressa' is a dwarf selection of coast redwood characterized by creamy white, tightly-held needles. if left unattended, it will form a broadly conical, rather open tree that will be 4 to 6 feet (1.5 - 2m) tall after 10 years. However, if subjected to regular shearing and occasional, 'Adpressa' will be a fairly tight, bright white ball.

This cultivar originated in France in the mid-1800s and described and named by André Leroy. In 1867, Élie-Abel Carrière published the cultivar name 'Adpressa' to describe all dwarf, white-tipped forms of this species. In 1881, John Veitch published the cultivar name, 'Albospica' to describe the vigorous tree form.
