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.)
