Hi friends ~

My Redwoods just got delivered to me 2 days ago on 2-18-22. They are in shock of course but I'm wondering how soon can I start taking twigs off that I do not want. I don't want to prune, just rid the unnecessary. Will this hurt the tree this early into receiving them? I am most likely going to wait until I see growth appearing cause I honestly have no idea if they even survived the trip (looks like they did but I just want to be sure.)

My other question is how long until I can repot them. I know it's gonna be a while and their roots are probably not too thick in there but the orientation they are in and the soil they are in, do not look the best

.

Thank you so much for the help!

where are you from!!!!
the metasequoia is very fond of water

I am from Northern California! My particular tree is a California Dawn as you probably know...

I never do any work on my trees until after a full growing season has passed. So if I got a tree now, I would not work on it until earliest late winter 2023. But only if the tree have shown good growth last season. If not, I just wait another year or two.

I appreciate that a ton. My thoughts were to get rid of all the stuff that clutter an soaks energy. I will definitely wait though.

Thank you friend ~

Everything that grows on a tree helps it to store energy, mature and increase trunk size. There are no wasted energy in bonsai.
