    Technically, anything can be grown in a container. It is really just a matter of being able to provide the space and the water it needs. A redwood might be hard to keep up with in a container. But there are many pine trees that are more than manageable for containers. Look for dwarf varieties for the best choices for containers.

    Please contact your local extension office (found under gov't in your phone book) for help in identify exactly what is wrong with your tree. There has been confirmation that Phytophthora ramorum, the fungus associated with Sudden Oak Death, does also attack Redwood trees. The extension service should be able to identify the problem and offer solutions on how to control the issue.

    Cut the suckers and paint the fresh cuts with concentrated Round-Up. The tree will suck the Round-Up into its system and kill it. It may take a few applications, but will eventually kill the roots.

    Information states they thrive best at 3000 feet or below with heavy rainfall (100"/year) and high humidity. Have you contacted your local agricultural extension service or the Forrest service?

    I was about to say that no pine can be grown as a houseplant, when it occurred to me that perhaps you mean Norfolk Island Pine. If that's the case, they do indeed make good houseplants. Here's more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/norfolk-pine/
