Question

Where can one find Sequoia trees?

Answer 1

Sequoias are mostly on the west coast of North America (California in particular). Many reside in Sequoia National Park and Kings Canyon in the Sierra Nevadas. Giant Sequoias are vulnerable but not truly threatened of being endangered. They are limited to America's Pacific coast naturally. But similar trees are located in Europe as well. I have been to Sequoia National Park many times. It is beautiful there and the giant sequoias are absolutely breathtaking. Anyways, I hope you find this information useful.

Answer 2

Sequoia or Red wood pines are found in west coast of North America .

Answer 3

Sequoia trees are found along the United States' western coast (the state of California).

Answer 4

Sequoia trees are commonly referred to as Redwood trees==

Coast Redwoods occupy a narrow strip of land approximately 750 km (470 miles) in length and 8-75 km (5-47 miles) in width along the Pacific coast; the elevation range is mostly from 30-750 m, occasionally down to sea level and up to 920 m (about 3,000 feet) .

They usually grow in the mountains where there is more precipitation from the incoming moisture off the ocean.

The tallest and oldest trees are found in deep valleys and gullies, where year-round streams can flow, and fog drip is regular.

The trees above the fog layer, above about 700 m, are shorter and smaller due to the drier, windier, and colder conditions.

In addition, tanoak, pine and Douglas-fir often crowd out redwoods at these elevations.

Few redwoods grow close to the ocean, due to intense salt spray, sand and wind.



Fog is of major importance in Coast Redwood ecology. Redwood National Park.

The northern boundary of its range is marked by two groves on the Chetco River on the western fringe of the Klamath Mountains, 25 km (15 miles) north of the California-Oregon border.

The largest (and tallest) populations are in Redwood National and State Parks (Del Norte and Humboldt Counties) and Humboldt Redwoods State Park (Humboldt County), located primarily near the ocean and within the coastal mountains of the far North Coast of California.

The furthest inland are 75 km from the sea, in Napa County. The southern boundary of the range is marked by a grove in Salmon Creek Canyon in the Santa Lucia Mountains of southern Monterey County.

This native area provides a unique environment with heavy seasonal rains (of up to 2,500 mm or 100 in annually).

Cool coastal air and fog keeping this forest consistently damp year round.

Several factors, including the heavy rainfall, create a soil with less nutrients than are necessary, causing the trees to depend heavily on the entire biotic community of the forest, and complete recycling of the trees when dead.

This forest community includes Douglas fir, Western Hemlock, Tanoak, Madrone, and other trees along with a wide variety of ferns, Redwood sorrel, mosses and mushrooms.

Redwood forests provide habitat for a variety of mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians.

Old growth redwood stands provide habitat for the federally threatened Spotted Owl and the California-endangered Marbled Murrelet.

The thick, tannin-rich bark, combined with foliage that starts high above the ground provides good protection from both fire and insect damage, contributing to the Coast Redwood's longevity.

The oldest known Coast Redwood is about 2,200 years old (Gymnosperm Database); many others in the wild exceed 600 years.

The numerous claims of older trees are incorrect (Gymnosperm Database).

The prehistoric fossil range of the genus is considerably greater, with a subcosmopolitan distribution including Europe and Asia until about 5 million years ago.
