When do I transplant my Sequoia Sempervirens outside?
I started a Coastal Redwood from seed. It is about 2 inches high. I live in PA, around Philadelphia–when can I plant it outside? How big should It be before I transplant it outdoors? Also, how fast will it grow? Like in ten years or so approximately how tall will it be? Thanks!

after the last frost. slow to medium growth rate. maximum height 40-60′.
Transplant it into a bigger pot, a 6" pot would be ideal and move it into a protected spot outdoors. As it grows keep repotting. when it gets to about 30cm you can plant it out.
Plant it out in spring, choose a place with fertile, deep soil and use plenty of mulch. Water regularly through its first summer.
In ten years you should expect about 10m growth.
