Marc,

To answer the second part of your question, yes, Sequoia sempervirens
(note, the genus name is different) grows easily from cuttings, but one
must be very careful as to choice of material. Branches which are
growing horizontally will continue to grow horizontally, sometimes for
many years if not indefinitely. The term is plagiotropism, and redwoods
are classic examples. Take cuttings from upright tips or, best, from
tips of basal sprouts. A little IBA or other hormone, and some bottom
heat and enough mist to keep from drying, and they root readily much if
not all of the year.
