Sequoia sempervirens Coast Redwood

Coast Redwood, also known as the Californian Redwood, is a magnificent evergreen conifer renowned as the tallest tree species in the world, reaching over 100 metres in its native habitat. In Australian gardens and landscapes, it typically grows to around 30 metres, developing a tall, elegant form with a strong central trunk and gently weeping branches clothed in soft, feathery deep-green foliage. Faster-growing and more slender than the Giant Redwood, Coast Redwood combines impressive height with graceful beauty, making it a striking feature tree for large gardens, parks, avenues, and rural properties. As a monoecious species, it produces both pollen and seed cones on the same tree. Given its eventual size, Coast Redwoods should be planted 8–10 metres apart and allowed plenty of room to develop. It is also highly valued by bonsai enthusiasts, where its fine foliage and vigorous growth can be shaped into stunning miniature specimens.
