Redwood Color 788 - #A45A52

The three redwood subfamily genera are: Sequoia and Sequoiadendron of California and Oregon, USA; and Metasequoia in China. The redwood species contains the largest and tallest trees in the world. These trees can live to an age of thousands of years. This is an endangered subfamily due to habitat losses from: fire ecology suppression, logging, and air pollution.

Only two of the genera, Sequoia and Sequoiadendron, are known for massive trees. Metasequoia, with the living species Metasequoia glyptostroboides, are much smaller.

The native habitat of Sequoiadendron giganteum trees is only on the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada range in central eastern California. The native habitat of Sequoia sempervirens trees is only in the Northern California coastal forests eco-region, on the Northern California coast and several miles into Oregon.
