Redwood Trees The redwood trees of the northern and north central California coast are the tallest trees on earth. A relative of the sequoias found in Kings Canyon, Sequoia, and Yosemite National Parks, these trees are not as wide as sequoias at the base, as large, or as long-lived, but they are considerably taller.
The largest surviving stands of ancient coast redwoods are found in Humboldt Redwoods State Park, Redwood National and State Parks and Big Basin Redwoods State Park. The native people of California did not typically cut down coast redwoods, but used fallen trees to make planks for houses and hollowed out logs for canoes.
