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 tallest tree in the world, The Stratosphere Giant located here at Humboldt Redwoods State Park, is just over 370 feet tall. In the most favorable parts of their range, Coast Redwoods can live more than two thousand years. Redwoods are named for the color of their bark and heartwood.
