[net.garden] help: redwood burl

kolling@decwrl.UUCP (Karen Kolling) (05/08/85)

Someone gave me a redwood burl.  Now, how do I get it to grow?  Bury
the whole thing in dirt, leave the top exposed, or what?  Keep it
slightly or very damp?  Bright light?  Any advice about how to
get it started and when it can be transplanted to the yard will
be appreciated.  (You never heard of a redwood burl, right?  It's
one of the clump-like things that grow at the base of a redwood tree,
and, yes, there's room for a redwood in my yard, at least for the
rest of my life expectancy.)
