A big problem is getting a clear view of the tree in its entirety. After all, most of them are in... well... forests.
Like you said, restricting your choice to a redwood with a clear view limits your subjects. You may end up with heartbreaking portraits of lone redwoods in clear-cuts.
There is no limit to the quality of photos you can make of redwood trees, if you accept partially obscured views. I've noticed a need for better portraits of the great trees and I wish you well if you choose to take on the project.
