Californiaâs storied redwood trees are probably best-known as the tallest trees in the world, towering 350 to 400 feet tall. The conifers are a fast-growing tree, growing 3 to 5 feet per year in the first five years and reaching 90 feet tall by 25 years. The average life span of a redwood tree is more than 600 years. Only two species of redwood trees are still found in North America, the coast redwood and the giant sequoia.
