Redwood can stay near fence
Q After Christmas, I planted a 3-foot-tall redwood tree. It is now about 7 feet tall. There's a new fence, and the tree is now about 4 1/2 feet from the fence. (I probably planted it too close because it looked so small.) Can the tree be moved safely? What month is best? Is there anything else I should know about moving it? Or is it OK where it is?
