The term 'Californian Tree' refers to two species of trees native to California: the REDWOOD (SEQUOIA sempervirens) and the SEQUOIA (Sequoiadendron giganteum). The REDWOOD is the tallest tree in the world, growing up to 379 feet tall. It is also one of the longest-living trees, with some specimens living for over 2, 000 years. The SEQUOIA is the largest tree in the world by volume, with some specimens reaching over 52, 500 cubic feet. Both species are iconic symbols of California and are protected by the state.
