My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Newbie question - Grafted trees

16 years ago

Hi, sorry for this newbie type question.

I have a great looking dawn redwood cultivar, which is grafted onto a regular dawn redwood trunk. I have 2 feet of trunk, and 2 feet of the cultivar.

My question is......

Will the trunk "grow" in height to be a giant, and if not, why not?

Will the trunk get some girth, but not height?

Thanks for any advice. I am just trying to figure out why the cultivar I have say's it will only grow under 6', when the stock it is on will grow 10 times that or more...

Thanks for any replies. Just trying to figure out the grafted tree thing, and how they grow.

Ken
