Sequoia sempervirens'Variegata' is a strong and fast-growing selection of Coast redwood with dense branching and relatively short branchlets holding Blue-green needles variegated with yellowish splashes. The needles tend to appear layered along the branchlet creating a quadrangular effect in the foliage.
After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 25 feet (8 m) or more in height and two-thirds as wide, an annual growth rate of 2.5 feet (75 cm) or more.
'Variegata' is an old cultivar that was first described in the late 1800s by Élie-Abel Carrière as found at the Croux Nursery near Paris, France.

It's right where it's supposed to be:

An equally pertinent question is, why was this record was empty? I just asked the guys in Europe if anybody has a picture of 'Variegata.' It may turn out to be a mythical or extinct cultivar.
