4. They can be over 300 feet tall.


5. The entire area from Oregon to San Francisco used to be packed full of redwood forests.


6. Redwoods are ancient. The oldest redwood is over 2,500 years old.


7. Redwoods and sequoias are often confused. Sequoias are naturally thicker while redwoods are naturally taller.
