About the California Redwood:

Sequoia sempervirens, commonly known as the coast redwood or California redwood, is an evergreen conifer in the family Cupressaceae native to a narrow strip of the Pacific coast from southwestern Oregon to central California. Thriving in the foggy, temperate rainforest conditions of this coastal belt, redwoods can live for over 2,000 years and grow to staggering heights — the tallest known specimen, Hyperion, stands at 380 feet. Their thick, tannin-rich bark is remarkably fire-resistant, and their canopy ecosystems support a wealth of ferns, mosses, and wildlife found nowhere else on Earth.
