Sequoia sempervirens 'Albospica' is a vigorous, upright tree from of coast redwood with open branching and attractive white-tipped foliage, which is particularly stunning in spring. After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 10 feet (3 m) tall and 6 feet (2 m) wide, an annual growth rate of 8 to 12 inches (20 - 30 cm).

This cultivar originated in the late 1800s in the United Kingdom. William Barron & Son Nursery first published its description in 1875 under the cultivar name, 'Alba Spica.' This misspelling was later corrected in 1881 by John Veitch.
