- 1). Select a container for the burl. Find one that has a slightly larger diameter than the redwood burl. The container should be at least 2 inches deep and able to hold water.
- 2). Set the burl in the container so the bottom of the burl is in the water. Keep water in the container at all times.
- 3). Watch the redwood sprouts come out of the top of the burl. In time, you may see roots growing from the bottom of the burl.
- 4). Plant any trees that actually sprout in a location where they receive plenty of moisture. If no roots develop, prune the shoots growing from the burl with a cutting instrument. Shape the miniature forest to suit your tastes.
