Plant Lore
The heartwood of redwood trees is considered among the most resistant to decay and used extensively in construction. |
Plant History
This species is native to the Northern California coast and further north into Oregon. Grouped into the Taxodiaceae and classified by Endlicher of Vienna, they were named after Sequoyah, a Cherokee of Georgia wholly unrelated to the tree! This is the only species, considered the tallest tree in the world. |
