Sequoia sempervirens 'Soquel'

Overview

The Coast Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens 'Soquel') is a fast-growing conifer tree. It is among the tallest and longest-lived trees on Earth, and its deep root systems help it thrive in diverse environments. Upright branches with lush green needles form a cone-like crown, creating a majestic sight for those lucky enough to stand beneath its canopy. This tree is native to the Pacific Coast, where its tolerance of numerous extreme conditions allows it to reach its full potential of 75–85 meters in height with a trunk diameter of 2–3 meters. With its shade, decorative foliage, and enormous size, the Coast Redwood is an ideal tree for creating a beautiful backyard oasis.
