Sequoiadendron giganteum is endemic to the West of the USA. They take centuries if not thousands of years to grow. Can you explain how you found one in Tajikistan? Posted 2 days ago

  I met this tree in the "Botanical Garden" in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, which was established 1933. The Wikipedia says this garden contains specimens of trees and shrubs from every corner of the world.

    Sure, but is there any evidence that this specific species of tree is in the park? Was there a sign in front of the tree you photographed mentioning the species name? How did you come to the name?
    
    I did some searching myself and could not find evidence or a single photo of this species, which is strange because it would be really special to have this tree. In fact, on iNaturalist not a single photo was ever taken of a Sequoiadendron in the entire country of Tajikistan. Zero.
    
    You might be the first ever to do it, but I find that unlikely for such an extraordinary tree.
    
    For now removing the identification, hope you understand.
