Future Artemis Moon Tree
- Giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum)
- Giant sequoias can be grown in most climates, whereas their cousins, coastal redwoods, are restricted to the foggy coasts of the Western United States. This is why giant sequoia seeds were chosen as one species of Moon Trees for Artemis I.
