GIANT SEQUOIAS AND REDWOODS
The Largest and Tallest Trees
Giant sequoias and coast redwoods are nature's skyscrapers. They look similar, but they acutally have a quite distinctive appearance and require different climates to survive.
Redwoods
The coast redwood, also known as California redwood thrives in the
humid climate and is endemic to the fog belt of the coast of California.
It can live up to 2000 years and often exceeds 90 meters in height.
Fun Fact!
Hyperion is the tallest living tree in the world
and it is located in Redwood National Park in California, USA.
It stands nearly at 116 meters tall!Giant Sequoias
The giant sequoia thrives in higher elevation habitats
than the giant redwood. It requires the periodic dry heat of
the mountains in order for its cones to open and release seeds.
This species of tree is usually shorter than the California redwood,
but can still reach heights of up to 94 meters.
Fun Fact!
The General Sherman is the largest living tree in the world!It stands 83m tall, and is over 11 m in diameter at the base. Sixty feet above the base, the Sherman Tree is 5.3 m in diameter.
