The Redwood forest grows along the wesst coast of the united states from central California to Southern Oregan.

Redwood trees are the tallest trees and they are also related to the giant Seqouia trees.

The Redwoods grow up to two hundred to two hundred seventy five Feet (sixty-one to eighty-four meters). The trunks are eight to twelve feet in diameter. A Redwood forest in northern California is three hundred sixty eight feet high. (one hundred twelve meters.)

The Redwood forest trees grow close together blocking sunlight from the shrubs and grass on the ground.

The Redwood forest have yellow-greenish needles that are one inch long and they last several years.

It would take one hundred twenty three thousand years for a tiny seed to weigh a pound and two hundred seventy one thousand years to weigh a kilogram.

Redwood tree bark can be tweleve inches thick. Great burls (lumps) often grow on trunks of older Redwoods.

Many Redwood forests have been set aside as state of National parks for their ancient beauty.
