Fire burned forest redwoods

[Suohhen]

My property burned in the 2020 CZU Santa Cruz fire and many of the redwoods are coming back but there are a few which are a little too close for comfort. I would appreciate any advice on whether any of these trees should be removed and how to tell which limbs on the recovering trees should be pruned.
The trees of interest are labeled 1 to 4 and there is a 5th tree of interest on the very right side of the 1st image shown in the last 2 images. Tysm for the advice!

Those are some amazing photos!

I would let nature take it's course unless they threatened your house or other buildings.

I bet in 100 years most of your redwood will make a full recovery.

New green growth has nothing to do with structural stability of your trees. Find yourself a reputable arborist familiar with fire damaged trees in your area. Needs to be qualified in identifying hazard trees and not interested in pricing removals. There should be a consulting cost for this service.

I don't see any problems there. Redwoods are designed by nature to survive fires. The bark is more or less fireproof, and even if the leaves get burned they will survive. I wouldn't worry about it unless the fire actually burned into the base, creating hollows that would weaken the tree. Leave them alone and they will be fine. Nature will repair things a lot better than you could in the long run.....

I'm sorry your property burned. Our place is not far from that fire.

None of them look in immediate danger of falling to me but I'm not a professional arborist. I'd consider thinning that stand so it won't burn as hot next time.

Redwoods seem to be quite adept at self pruning. The dead limbs will eventually fall off. Also, the OP's (living) trees will not remain black forever: Live bark grows behind the layers of dead bark. Over time, the outermost (oldest) layers of bark will be shed.

Our place is not far from that fire.

Ditto. I've driven home "the long way" multiple times to watch the forest recover.
