Redwood is a rapidly growing tree, and some individual trees have been measured at more than 360 feet in height, making it the tallest measured tree species on the earth. In favorable situations, trees 20 years old may average 50 feet in height and 8 inches in diameter.Average mature trees are from 200 to 240 feet high with diameters of 10 to 15 feet at 4 feet 8 inches above the ground.Exceptional individuals sometimes reach a height of 350 feet, a diameter of over 20 feet, and an age of approximately 2000 years. Redwood leaves are green, flat, and sharp-pointed.edwood, also known as Coast Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens), grows in a very narrow strip along the coast of California from the extreme southwestern corner of Oregon to 150 miles south of San Francisco in the Soda Springs drainage of Big Sur.

This contrasts with autotrophs, such as plants, algae and  some bacteria, that can use energy from sunlight (photosynthesis)  or inorganic compounds to produce organic compounds such as  carbohydrates, fats, and proteins from inorganic carbon dioxide.   Humans are a good example of heterotrophs.That's why we eat a lot  of plants.   A heterotroph is any organism that requires organic subtrates in  order to survive.    Basically, a heterotroph is a consumer which must eat other animals  and cannot produce its own food. It is referring to the consumers in the food chain, such as  animals,fungi and many bacteria. More scientifically, it's the life  form that uses organic carbon for growth. This contrasts with  autotrophs, which are the producers, mainly plants, in the food  chain.
