Is a giant sequoia a dicot?
Short Answer Giant Sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) is neither a monocot nor a dicot. The terms "monocot" and "dicot" apply only to flowering plants. Sequoia are not flower…ing plants. They are conifers. Longer Answer Taxonomists recognize six major divisions of seed-bearing plants. Division Angiospermae (the angiosperms or "flowering plants") can be further divided into the monocots and the dicots based on certain morphological characteristics including embryonic leaf number. Palms and grasses are familiar monocots. Oaks and peanuts are familiar dicots. Sequoia are in Division Pinophyta (the conifers) along with pines, cedars and other cone-producing trees and shrubs. Like angiosperms, conifers produce pollen and seeds that contain embryonic plants. But the conifers' reproductive structures are contained within cones rather than flowers. Conifer seeds also lack endosperm and conifers do not produce fruit. (MORE)

Is a sequoia tree perennial plant?
Yes, any plant that has a life cycle longer than two years would be considered a perennial plant, although the term is more often used in reference to herbaceous (soft stemmed…) plants than to woody plants. A plant that lives only a single year is called an annual - a bean plant for instance, which must be replanted from seed each year. A plant that grows and vegetates in the first year, then flowers, seeds and dies in the second year (such as the carrot plant) is called a biennial or biannual. A plant that continues to grow and produce seeds year after year is called a perennial. (MORE)
