I have about ten of the Dawn Redwoods which I keep in bonsai soil (my own mix) which drains well yet keeps some water even when its 90 degrees outside. I live in So. Michigan zone 5 so I mulch my trees in after sinking the pots into the ground each winter. I do this on the south side of the house so they are protected from the north wind.
I haven't lost one yet so I am comfortable with my method.
Good luck, ...Hector
