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 average redwood tree lives to be between 500 and 800 years old. However, there are some old-growth trees that have lived even longer. The oldest living redwood trees are between 2,000 and 2,200 years old.
