#2757 - Sequoiadendron giganteum -Giant Sequoia 

AKA giant redwood, Sierra redwood or Wellingtonia. First described in 1853 by English botanist John Lindley as Wellingtonia gigantea, but that generic had already been used for an unrelated plant in the family Sabiaceae. In 1854 French botanist Joseph Decaisne put it in the same genus as the coast redwood, naming it Sequoia gigantea, but that name had been applied, wrongly, to the coast redwood in 1847. Also in 1854 American botanist Andreas Peter Winslow named it Washingtonia californica - American botanists being slightly pissed that an English botanist had named the tree after a English military hero - but this name too was invalid, since there was already a palm genus Washingtonia. In 1907, German botanist Carl Ernst Otto Kuntze got in on the fun and put it in the otherwise extinct genus Steinhauera, but that's dubious enough to also be invalid.

These nomenclatural oversights (to put it politely) were corrected in 1939 by American gymnosperm expert John Theodore Buchholz, who put it in the new genus Sequoiadendron to stand proudly alone (the other two in the genus extinct since the Miocene and the Cretaceous respectively).

A giant cypress native to the Sierra Nevada, and the most massive trees on Earth. The tallest known is 94.8 m (311 ft) tall, and the widest trunk diameter reached 8.8 m (28.9 ft). Ages are known to have exceeded 3200 years.

Giant sequoias are adapted to forest fires, with unusually resistant bark, and cones that open immediately after a fire. They're having difficulty reproducing in their remaining habitat due to the seeds only being able to grow successfully in full sun and in mineral-rich soils, free from competing vegetation. That said, new stands planted in the San Jacinto Mountains and elsewhere, after forest fires cleared out the competition, are doing quite well.

An endangered species with fewer than 80,000 remaining in its native California. Infuriatingly, logged for timber despite being so brittle it was only good for fence posts and toothpicks.

Once much more widely distributed, and reasonably common in North American and Eurasian conifer forests until the last ice age.

In Aotearoa, ornamental Sequoias have already reached trunk diameters of over 3 meters in 120 years. They have a long way to go.

Lucio's Market [Restaurant, Grocery, Teaching Kitchen] ♥ The Sims 4: Speed Build // CC

Lucio's Market is where culinary passion meets community connection! Nestled in the heart of Anchorpoint Wharf, this venue seamlessly blends a fully stocked grocery store, a dynamic teaching kitchen, and a cozy restaurant—all under one roof. [Lot Can be set as a restaurant, generic, or retail]

➽ Speed Build Video

➽ Rheya's Notes:

♥This lot has been semi play-tested. ♥To make the Grocery part of the build functional, you can turn this into a retail lot. There are also grocery mods available such as SS realistic cooking mod and the Bulk Grocery Mod. Please keep in mind that I did not follow any requirements for these two mods as the grocery part of the build was made simply for aesthetics and storytelling. You are welcome to make adjustments! ♥We do not have a teaching kitchen venue option in the sims 4, however, the gameplay can be achieve with some imagination! You can turn this into a generic lot and simply have your sims cook/bake together on different stoves simultaneously. ♥Lastly if you want this lot to function as a restaurant, simply change the venue lot type in build mode. I would recommend downloading LittleMsSam's lock mod to lock the testing kitchen's door. This will prevent customers from using the kitchen appliances!

➽ Important Notes:

● Please make sure to turn bb.moveobjects on! ● Please DO NOT reupload or claim as your own. ● Feel free to tag me if you are using it, I love seeing my build in other peoples save file ● Feel free to edit/tweak my builds, but please make sure to credit me as the original creator! ● Thank you to all CC Creators ● Please let me know if there's any problem with the build
