That's fantastic!

Here in Southern California (the redwood's natural range is only north of here), there's a stand of redwoods in a park that has an unusual history:

A local bank was handing out seeds for Coastal Redwood trees if you opened an account with them, after that promotion ended, they had about 300 extra seeds remaining. Those seeds were planted at Carbon Canyon in 1975 when the park was created. Since the area doesn't have enough precipitation for these to thrive in, a drip watering system was put in. Just over 200 of these trees remain and some of them now reach 100 ft. tall which is about 1/3 of the height of those in Central California.
