A few months ago I visited Dave Bogan at his home near Evansville, IN. While looking through his inground pool/greenhouse at all the wonderful trees he has I spotted a very nice redwood stump. The redwood was doing quite well in the humid conditions of the greenhouse even though there was snow on the ground outside.
When I commented that I really liked the tree I was told that it came from Mendocino Coast Bonsai in Pt. Arena, CA. Flipping through some bonsai magazines a day later and a quick Google search lead me to their website. I exchanged a few emails with Zack explaining what I was looking for and he promptly sent me photos of 3 different redwood trees.
Here is a photo of the tree, 2 months after it arrived. It's doing well in a new pot on my benches.
California Redwood Sequoia sempervirens
