Bambusa Textilis Albostriata

Re: Coastal Redwood

Yes, Metasequoia glyptostroboides (dawn redwood) does just as well here as bald cypress, and can get BIG.

Mine is in filtered light and is not very agressive. It will fry in full sune here on the Gulf coast as Mark pointed out. Even at that I would not plant it in a small yard or along a fence line in a small yard without barrier.
