The Sequoias? Dawn is rated for high wind. I've thought about trying to plant both together. Maybe the Dawns will help support the Sequoia, or if it is found to be too prone to wind damage, it can be removed, and the Dawns can fill in the gap.

The Giant redwoods appear to have low wind resistance, should I expect lots of branches blowing off, or the tree snapping in half in a 50mph gust? The pines have held up well around here.

I wonder how much the pots stunted their growth.

That's sad. I remember somewhere someone had some sort of redwood growing about 8-12ft/year

How fast has it grown so far?

Do redwoods of any kind drip sap or sappy mist like some maples, hackberry and pine? I'm considering Dawn, and Giant if I can find any available. Dawn goes dormant right? Does it drop leaves in the winter? I'm also looking for year round wind protection. How's the tree doing?

Yes, sycamores are out. I forgot about sweet gum

Either way I don't want my trees dying to the ground each year if there is a chance of that.

I've found hardiness to have more to do with what temps kill the root. Like some plantain varieties are supposedly hardy to around -10 I think, but would never reach maturity around here as they freeze back to the ground most winters.

I thought about hackberry, but they are on the slow side, and I hate them, and I've known some to be randomly sappy. Maybe I'll plant whatever this is

I think, it would be pretty cool to plant a redwood in my yard, but I think it would freeze each year. Boy would it stick out after a good 50 years of feeding and watering. Planes might have to watch out for it :)

I didn't pick silver maple for nothing. Fast growth is the whole idea. There is another row of trees to help slow the wind before where these would be.

Maybe plant silvers then some red oaks under them. The pines grew quickly, and have had little to no trouble from the wind all these years. I'd plant more if it wasn't for the sap. I was also thinking about frequent feeding and mulching to boost the growth rate.

I've wanted to try paulownias just for fun, but I think they die back each year around here. I could always just stay on top of cabling silver maples as they become codominant. I kind of like them in 2's and 3's I kind of want to eventually log the trees around the house and plant new ones. We...

We might take down a few of our pine trees that are right next to the driveway. They have become quite large after 25 years, and drop a lot of sap on the cars. I once tried cutting back the branches and parking else where until they stopped dripping sap, but apparently these eastern white pines...
