Just wondering if anyone can give any input re: redwood? A couple of

friends have them on their properties, and by coincidence I have a

small sprig of leaves on my desk at the moment, it has a slight aroma

of ?I'd call it redwood (in my limited stage of olfactory learning!),

from my many visits to the groves and small individual stands in this

north end of the state of California.
