I live in Cincy and planted 3 and they seem to all be doing good... just kepp them from drying out. The first batch died becaise i went to California innlate summer and didnt have time to root where they all dried out and fried but I replanted it and the new batch was better and they lived. So far they have had a positive impact on the yard and weeds growing around... im gonna try a Coast Redwood. Someone rooted some of those high elevation coast redwoods from Santa Cruz with Christmas lights! So i bought a normal one from McKinnleyville wichnis same 40° latitude Cincinnati is on.
That’s cool. I was tempted to try a coast redwood, but saw the temperature range they normally survive in for winter and decided not to try it, thinking they wouldn’t make it here. Hope yours do well.
I bought this one as a 'bare root' plant. It was shipped to me in the mail with the roots wrapped in some material to keep the roots damp. I planted it as soon as I received it. I'm not sure how old it was when I received it, but based on the size of a giant redwood I grew from seed in the past, I'd say the one they shipped to me was probably 12 months old or less. It's still looking good at this moment. I'll make another update video later this spring. Probably no later than next month (May).
Correction to my last reply. I just checked my old video and this one was put in a pot in winter (January) after I got it in the mail. I used a grow light through winter and then planted it outside in Spring. Based on the size, I think it was probably no more than 8 months old or so. This is the video from a few years ago: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1OwDT0HYZfg.htmlsi=cpqgrbJiyfOXoqzO
@@ThePhotographyHobbyist I’m glad to see it doing good. I brought a plant back from Sequoia NP last year and I’m concerned if it’s going to make it or not. Like you said, I had it in some soil that is quite thick and doesn’t drain well. I was thinking about trying to transplant it, but with the soil being so thick I’m afraid taking it out of the pot right now might damage the roots. May just try to get some loose topsoil and plant the whole potted base removed from the pot (obviously) into the loose topsoil.
@@MrRedHotChiliMan Oh, if it's still in the pot, I'd leave it in the pot until you're ready to put it in the permanent home. If the soil in the pot is heavy soil, I'd keep it where it can't get rained on but still is outside, like on a porch where it can get light and you just keep an eye on the watering situation yourself. If I had it to do over, I'd dump some extra soil where I planted it to sort of make a natural raised bed that drains water off well (but in a place where I can water it well if needed when it's hot and dry in summer). The idea would be to keep it moist, but not 'wet' or soaked.
@@ThePhotographyHobbyist That is great ! Perfect the sequoia is still doing well. My 2 10 cm tall seedlings survived their 1st taiga winter. 1 is damaged by the ice but turns green. A 3rd,ca plug i bought did not make it. Learned a lot..
@@howtogrowdragonfruitplant7849 sorry you lost one. Maybe the others will do OK. I hope mine will grow well the next few years. If so, maybe it’ll live a long time.
The 2 that survived i grew from seed. I put them into the ground at 7 cm tall. I am happy they are ok. Yes, i also hope yours will grow well and that we can see your update videos...
