The Redwoods


There are only three types true Redwoods Sequoioidae. The Giant Sequoias (Seqouiadendron) are native to the High Sierra Mountains in CA. these are the largest living single organisms. Coast Redwoods (Sequoia) are form Northern California's coast & Dawn Redwoods (Metasequoia) are from China. These trees used to cover much of the Earth now they are native to small isolated areas. All three of these trees grow into large specimens. These plants have similar but different growing conditions & climate preferences.
