Coast Redwood

Look up! The coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens), aka the tallest living thing in the world is standing just above your head! A long-living evergreen, coast redwoods regenerate through seeds, with their seeds and pollen being located on the same tree, just on different branches. They are found between sea-level and 3,000 ft elevation, typically in humid regions along the Pacific Ocean. In the Bay Area, Oakland’s Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park is a great place to view these majestic trees without large crowds.
