I chose in the dining room, but my real answer is: In either the living room or the dining room, depending on which is the place you will spend most of your time when you might enjoy the tree (as opposed to not noticing it because you are rushing here or there).

Your office at work - you probably spend more waking hours there.

If I had two choices, I would have also Clicky Buttoned!

Seriously, you should put it wherever feels right. Although, since it's a volunteer, I'd be tempted to decorate it in situ with old decorations I don't care about - sort of a "Charlie Brown Christmas" thing.

Also, a volunteer redwood is cool because the hills from Alvarado Park well into Oakland used to be covered with them...

It doesn't put out enough new growth to cut a tree every year, and since I spend the holidays in Maine more often than here, I think I end up harvesting once every four years or so. Sometimes the other years I decorate it with birdseed bells, tied on with big red ribbons.

I rather suspect its parentage is from the redwood two houses down ... perhaps cross-fertilized by the one down on the corner. When we have serious wind-and-rain storms, I doubt the wisdom of allowing 5-story-tall redwoods to grow in urban settings, but having double-checked the geometry, I'll leave that question to those likely to be directly impacted. (For a literal sense of "impacted" in this case.)

I'm one of the majority (as of this comment, 15 out of 29) who clicked "clicky button", but my answer is also, put the tree where it will bring you the most satisfaction from having the tree there. Thus I tend to agree with scotica.

CLICKY BUTTON!!!!!!!

I think it would look lovely downstairs near the books. But, that may be the only room in your house I remember.
