A friend tells me I can't grow redwoods in the greater Boston 
area, because water can't reach the heights that redwoods 
attain. And that they need that "San Francisco" fog to cover the 
tops of the trees where the water is absorbed. And can I graft 
decidous-tree roots, with hairs, to increase water absorption?
