Someday.Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Juneaukid - how I would love to visit the Muir Woods.
I'm so glad to see you've had success, and thanks for the education on another species! Some day if my meditations and prayers and hard work is answered, I plan to own property, and you can be sure there'll be some sort of species of redwood there!ĭolores Monet (author) from East Coast, United States on October 21, 2009: I have bought over a dozen saplings as gifts for my "homeowner" friends and family, one person was able to grow them for two years, then those perished, same with all the others. I have been madly in love with all things redwood since visiting the John Muir woods in California years ago. Otherwise they'll go live with their brothers and sisters in one of the beautiful Redwood forests here in California.īen Zoltak from Lake Mills, Jefferson County, Wisconsin USA on November 15, 2009:Īlso, your husband is an understanding guy.īen Zoltak from Lake Mills, Jefferson County, Wisconsin USA on November 14, 2009: I hope to have a place for them before they're too big for me to have in a pot. They'll hopefully be around for many lifetimes. I took a cone home that I picked up from the ground and planted a seed about 3-4 weeks ago in the same pot as my baby Giant Sequoia, who is about 5.5 inches tall and named Rooti:)I guess I'm starting my own old growth forest. There is a grove of Dawn Redwoods in the New York Botanical Gardens in the Bronx, right next to the Bronx Zoo. But something bit all the tops off! Don't know what will happen next year, but we will see! Jana - thank you! I have started a mini grove in my yard, hoping to give the young trees away. Those beautiful trunks and the soft foliage seem almost magical to me.
