    Coast Redwood Landscape Nursery Stock

    Thanks for the feedback @Cypress187. I'm clearly no expert either. I'm a total noob. What season is best to do a trunk chop and root work for coast redwoods? Since I've already done the trunk chop, should I just go ahead and do some root work or just monitor the tree and see how it's doing...
