Thanks to Tom Schmidt for sending us this picture of a giant sequoia growing in Placitas, New Mexico. Tom said "The area this beautiful tree is growing is very arid and has had drought conditions for the last 10+years. I guess God believes this is a good place for a Giant Sequoia. Can’t wait to see it a full height :)"
