Key Attributes
About Coast, Redwood Seed
No tree on Earth stands taller than this fast-growing evergreen, with its soft, flat sprays of deep green needles and thick, fibrous cinnamon-red bark. Coast Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) forms a tall, narrow pyramid and thrives in mild, moist climates, especially where summer fog or regular watering keeps it happy. Young trees make striking specimens, groves or screens, and seedlings can be grown in containers or trained as bonsai.

Its Role in the Native Ecosystem
Coast Redwood forests are home to marbled murrelets, spotted owls, Pacific giant salamanders and banana slugs. The trees capture fog drip that waters the forest floor and its ferns. Old trees develop cavities and canopy soils that support a whole community of plants and animals.
