Towering above all else that grows in nature, the coast redwood is a marvel among trees. Able to survive for over 2,000 years, these gentle giants display a wealth of adaptations that allow them to thrive in the Pacific Northwest. Discover the basics of plant science as we explore the role of the many parts of a tree’s anatomy from the roots to the canopy, and learn about the natural processes that allow them to grow from a small seed to the tallest trees on earth.
