The water needs of those trees cannot be under-exaggerated.

The Ca and Oregon coasts, where they thrive, are actually rain forests and receive a massive amount of rain each winter.

In the summer months the trees "drink" through their needles and get their moisture from the dense fog that is plentiful along the coastal ranges.

I think, but am not sure, that they are not deep rooted.

The trees are beautiful and thankfully not a large as their Giant Sequoia cousins.

The Dawn Redwoods are great. Fast growers. We've got two in the back yard. They are a lot like Cypress trees which also lose their leaves in winter. They'll do fine most anywhere in the USA.
Tough, ancient trees...
