I planted Dawn Redwoods 5 feet apart. Will they grow properly?

If you consult wikipedia you will get the answer NO.
Metasequoia glyptostroboides, OR the Dawn Redwood tree grows to about 2 meters in diameter at the soil level .
Dawn Redwood ( Metasequoia glyptostroboides) is an ancient tree that knew the dinosaurs, but is well-suited to modern landscape plantings.
Likes full sun, is easily transplanted. Deciduous. Prefers moist, deep, well-drained soils.
Fast growing. Grows to 70′ to 100′ in height , 25′ spread. (zones 5-8)
So 5 feet distance between them is too close for comfort .
