Sequoia sempervirens

Design with this plant

Overview

The Coast Redwood, Sequoia sempervirens, is the world's tallest tree species, reaching over 350 feet in height. Native to the Pacific Northwest, these conifers demand ample moisture and mild climates. They showcase a thick, fire-resistant bark and needle-like leaves. Space them at least 30 feet apart in a landscape to accommodate extensive root systems. Ideal for grand, naturalistic designs, they offer longevity and a majestic presence in large-scale settings.
