I was talking about the dawns. I don't know much of anything about the sequoias. I had just started researching them to put on my property, became aware of the dawns, and liked that they grew fairly fast. I'm getting old, and would like to see the trees be impressive before I die.

These things don't grow wild around here, but they've been fairly popular to plant, and I haven't seen any destruction. Some of the trees are approaching 100'.

Just measured them. The one on the left is 6.2' and the one on the right is 4.7'. Assuming the pots are 8", they started at 3.5' and 2.1' respectively; eyeballed of course. Could be a fair amount of error. They were planted Nov 2018.

It did. I asked on another forum for opinions on what to do with it, debated awhile, and decided on living by my opinion trees can handle themselves. It culled the second leader itself. You can see in the pic it's starting to whither. It's totally gone now.

Here's the tree on the right nine months later...

I doubt it was much. Unless a plant's hopelessly rootbound, they'll generally take off when put in open ground.

That's insane. If accurate, I wonder how strong they were? You got me curious. Some time this week I'll take a good look at them, and see if I can estimate their growth. I have pics of them in pots when I got them, so I should be able to estimate from that. edit: This is the day I bought...

Just guessing, 1.5'-2'/year.

Dunno about sap drippage, but I don't think so. I had a couple little branches break, and they weren't weepy like a white pine would be. They lose their needles in the winter, so not great for a windbreak.

I planted two dawn redwoods last year. They're the little ones. They only get to ~150' :^D Seriously though, it's a nifty tree. Good for the south side of your house. Will block the sun in the summer, then drop its needles to let in the sun in the winter. Mine are on the north and east parts...
