DIMENSIONS INCLUDING THE FRAME: 37” H x 29” W DIMENSIONS WITHOUT THE FRAME: 32” H x 24” W The earliest redwoods showed up on Earth shortly after the dinosaurs – before flowers, birds, spiders… and, of course, humans. Redwoods have been around for about 240 million years 2, and in California for at least 20 million years, compared to about 200,000 years for “modern” humans Redwood trees, a species native to a small subsection of the California and Oregon coastline in the United States, are some of the tallest and oldest living trees on the planet. Redwoods are a group of cone-bearing trees that have been around for millions of years and are a living link to the past: History Redwoods appeared on Earth shortly after the dinosaurs, before birds, flowers, and humans. They have been in California for at least 20 million years. Reproduction Redwoods reproduce mainly asexually through clonal reproduction. This process involves new shoots growing from the base of the parent tree, which allows redwoods to regenerate quickly. Climate change Redwoods are essential in fighting climate change because they store more carbon dioxide than any other forest. Symbolism Redwoods symbolize strength, longevity, power, and energy. Importance to California history In the late 1910s, it became clear that many old-growth redwoods would be logged. Because of their connection to fossil records, they were seen as a living link to the past. Location Giant or coastal redwoods grow in the humid, moist climate of the Northern California coast, where marine fog provides the ideal conditions for their growth. Age The average age of a mature redwood is between 800 and 1,500 years, but they can live for up to 2,000 years. Redwood trees (scientific name Sequoia sempervirens) are a species of tree found on the northwestern Pacific coast of the United States, specifically in northern California and Oregon. Other common names for redwood trees include California redwoods, coast redwoods, giant redwoods, and California coastal redwoods. Redwoods are a resilient species of tree that can grow up to 350 feet tall and often live between 1,200 and 1,800 years (but sometimes longer than 2,000 years) and are highly resistant to rot and disease. This resistance to decay is due to the high tannin content of the wood, its massive size, and the acidic nature of its shallow root system, which removes competitor species from the forest floor. Mature trees can withstand high winds, drought, and even fire thanks to the redwood's thick bark with minimal resin. Redwood trees grow exclusively on the central and northern Pacific coast of the United States, from central California to southern Oregon. Redwoods grow in a narrow strip of space, always within 50 miles of the Pacific coast. This provides the ideal growing conditions for the California redwood species, including mild temperatures, ample fog, and plentiful rainfall. Coastal redwoods are endemic to North America, though the species was intentionally introduced to the Whakarewarewa Forest region of New Zealand, where they have flourished. Other redwood groves exist in Italy, Portugal, the United Kingdom, and South Africa, among other countries.
