Mlcapaci on Jul 28, 2015Janet, You don't know what you are talking about. You could cost this person some jail time and many thousands of dollars in fines!!!! Those redwoods have been around since before Christ. They are protected. Before you do anything, contact the California Forestery Division and get their input. Beware of folks that have nothing to lose by giving you bogus advice that could cost you in ways you can't even imagine. Another source would be the Sierra Club.1 marked as helpful Reply

Kathleen Conery on Jul 28, 2015I did a little googling and your arborist was right... your redwood will never be really happy there. Coastal redwoods need a of of moisture, not just in the soil, but in the air... the coastal fog is vital for their health, and without it the top is much more sensitive to the heat and dryness. So I'm afraid I can't answer your question... except to say that I think it will be difficult to keep this tree happy where it is. And you're doing about all you can with the watering and needle mulching. BTW... I also looked for any laws about the tree and except for it's being protected in the state forests there doesn't seem to be anything about it being banned or otherwise controlled (perhaps Janet was thinking of some other tree?). If worst comes to worst and you need to consider it's removal, you will definitely need check with the officials first, and get a tree removal permit. It's not just the redwoods... it looks like a lot of California counties are particular about tree removal even on private property!Helpful Reply

Samantha on Jul 30, 2015Let me start out by saying...I don't have an answer to your question. But, I can say that there are many redwoods in my area (Yuba City) that are doing very well even through our drought. Good luckHelpful Reply
