Sequoiadendron giganteum ‘Pygmaeum’

In the Netherlands this dwarf often gets confused with 'Compactum', but the difference is that this one attains a globose shape more easily than 'Compactum', because 'Pygmaeum' rarely makes a leader. In 10 years the height and width are about 3 ft. -ACS Bulletin, Summer 2000, Vol.17, No.3, p. 120, Nelis Kools, Kools Nursery, Netherlands
