Coast redwood—Sequoia sempervirens
Plant Identification
Coast redwoods are large, fast-growing coniferous
evergreen trees. They can grow to 70 to 90 feet. Many selected
forms are available. They can be planted as an individual
tree or in a grove or as a large sheared hedge.
Optimum conditions for growth
Coast redwood trees grow in various climatic
zones and can survive in areas with good drainage and full
sun; young trees should have partial shade. They do best
with frequent irrigation and other practices that may help
conserve water, such as mulches. Redwoods have a large spread
and must be spaced about 7 feet apart in groves or 4 feet
apart in hedges. Root intrusion problems may occur due to "shallow" rooting.
