How available is Redwood today?
Although the trees are smaller, there is more Redwood being grown today than 10 years ago. Virtually all of the Redwood harvested today is grown on replanted Redwood farms. Unfortunately Redwood with strong old growth characteristics, such as Clear All Heart, close grain lumber, will no longer be available as the trees are harvested at a much younger age. We highly recommend Redwood for all garden needs and lower grade decking needs where knots enhance rather than hinder the appearance. When a higher grade of decking is needed, we recommend using DreamDex. DreamDex will provide you with a deck that looks somewhat like old growth Redwood, but has superior properties to even compared to the old growth of our past.
