Why Plant a Redwood Tree in Your Landscape Benefits and Care Tips

Redwood trees are not suitable for small gardens. This is because the giant sequoia grows with age. However, it is possible to grow yours if the area fits the specifications. The tree can be grown outside of its designed climatic conditions but with some modifications. It is in its natural habitat in hardiness zone nine, but it is also possible, with extra care, to grow it in zones 5, 7, and 8.

It is difficult to determine the mature size of the giants as they grow continuously. The tallest is reportedly 379.1 feet tall and 13 feet wide. Their average growth rate is five feet annually.

How to Successfully Grow and Maintain a Redwood Tree in Your Garden

Their reproductive maturity occurs after five or ten years of planting. It is noteworthy that the female and male reproductive parts of fertilization are found on the same tree. Therefore, there need to be no trees nearby for pollination to occur.

It is important to note that redwood trees take much care to grow so that we may have few in stock. Additionally, patience is needed during the process, which can occur as early as the first few days of planting or as long as a few months.

This Is How Your Plants Will Look upon Delivery

Plant bare root trees during the dormant season in early spring or late fall (November through April). Dig the hole twice as wide as the roots so the soil is well-drained. Position the tree so the root flare is at or just above ground level. Fill the hole back with the soil you dug from and water. Maintain soil moisture, especially in the tree's early years, by providing deep, regular watering. Apply a 2-4 inch mulch away from the trunk at the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune trees during the first few seasons to establish strength and resilience, remove damaged branches, and continue maintenance pruning as the tree matures. Regularly inspect for pests and diseases and apply integrated pest management practices. Protect young trees from mechanical damage and extreme temperatures with tree guards, and stake them if necessary for support, removing the stakes after one or two years.
