They should do fine for many more years. We're in a drier southern Oregon 2 hours from the redwood coast, and our inland town gets about 20 inches of yearly rain. Coast redwoods do okay here. From what I searched online, you get about 6 inches more rain per year and your summer highs are less than around here. Cheers, Mario Vaden
Sequoiadendron roots are stronger than realized. Compaction is the problem to watch out for, especially if soil is wet and bare. In summer, big trees don't need much water and if the soil surface dries, compaction is near impossible from foot traffic those warm months. It would vary from garden to garden and how people are caring for the area. But many large tree's roots can exert up to 170 lbs. per square inch of energy, not just coast redwoods as noted on this page: www.mdvaden.com/redwood_tissue.shtml
Most in this grove are around 300 to 330 feet. Age is probably 1500 upward, because it is a twin or triple stem merged. Another in my video titled "The real Giant Sequoia ..." is estimated more like 4000 yers.
Very informative video thanks, Mario. I planted 2 sempervirens in Istanbul in 1997. They are now 45 ft tall.

Highly interesting talk and an opinion I haven`t heard before. Thanks!
Gorgeous tree. Thank God someone had the foresight to keep it out of a lumber mill.
nice looking tree. I planted a couple of redwoods, I think I may have planted them too close to each other after seeing this tree 😅
Interesting. Just planted giant and coastal in my garden in Sweden. Will make update video's! The giant does have sensitive roots.

@@TallTreesClub Thats interesting!! Thanks for this information.
Not what I was expecting, had suspected you were going to mention how far out the roots reach as opposed to a tap root system. Nice info, thanks.
Tap roots are for carrots. Trees don't do that. There's no oxygen below 3 feet depth in soil, so roots don't go there.
I’d love to know where this tree is!
Prairie Creek park not far from Boyes Creek.
@@TallTreesClub Thanks!
Beautiful sempervirens specimen Mario . What age and how tall would you guestimate that tree to be ?

You da man!!!
Soil compaction and its detrimental effects is not in dispute.
That's why I don't dispute, but teach 1000s of viewers so they don't get mislead by people who dispute that any walking around trees is detrimental.
It looks like a dead redwood stump
Yes, when the lens isn't showing the other 300 feet and massive crown overhead, it can seem that way.
