My friend tried to grow a sequoia here in the Cleveland OH area, it survived for about 10 years and reached 18 inch diameter at the base. But I didn't get a chance to harvest it until bugs got to it, and much of it rotted away. I was able to salvage some smaller pieces, and produced this set of three small bud vases. Love the colors. With some turquoise chips inlay, and finished with Osmo polyx. about 4 inches tall.
