When I lived in Washington state, my neighbor, a great plant enthusiast, would occasionally accompany me on my evening dog walks to look at our neighbors' gardens. One time we happened upon a house that had planted, directly under the electric-supply line from the street, a handsome 8' specimen of Sequoiadendron giganteum, Giant Sequoia. We stood there in astonished silence for a moment, and then my friend said, "I give it six months."
