Sequoia sempervirens

Sequoia sempervirens, commonly known as the coast redwood, is a towering evergreen tree native to the California coast. It is renowned for its exceptional height, often exceeding 300 feet, making it one of the tallest tree species in the world. The tree’s thick, reddish-brown bark provides protection against fire and pests. Its dense, fragrant foliage remains green year-round.
