Scratched the trunk and it is green!

In general what is the best way to over-winter plants without planting them in the ground? Do you know? (I probably will move at some point and would like to take this with me so planting it isn't my favorite option.)

Branches are flexible and relatively soft, another user suggested I scratch the trunk to see if it's green inside and it is so I think it is still alive fortunately!

Will definitely check roots! thanks for the tip! (I kinda figured it wouldn't hit its normal lifespan here, I just thought it would be fun to grow one cause they're cool)

I got it from the johnsteen tree company and that's what it is called on the tag (which is still on the tree) Here's it's wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequoiadendron_giganteum

Do you know if redwood sapplings can survive in a low light environment like a garage over winter? What would be my best bet of getting one to make it?

Does it change anything if it only went brown after it started warming up outside and was green all through winter?

Anyone have any idea what is causing this? I’ve looked it up and found that at least for younger saplings. Some Browning can be normal in early spring, but none of the images had nearly this much Brown. There is barely any green left among the needles.

Ahh yes, another reason mark zuckerberg needs to get luigi’d
