Are you referring to a Sequoia Sempervirens or a S. Gigantea?  The former is 
a coast redwood and can easily achieve 60 feet in 25 years.  The latter is 
the Sierra redwood and although I haven't much experience with them, believe 
they are slower growing.  Then too there may be a matter of too much 
competition for nutrients for the tree that you mention as a runt.
