Giant Redwood for Daz

Name: Giant Redwood

Scientific: Sequoiadendron gigantum

A.K.A.: Giant Sequoia, Sierra Redwood, Wellingtonia

Notes: These are the largest trees on Earth, though not as tall as the Coastal Redwood (Sequia sempervirens), this tree has a wider girth and a less tapered trunk making it greater by volume. It's a long lived species with the oldest known being 3,200+ years old. While the present day distribution of this species is limited to a small area of California, it was once much more widely distributed in prehistoric times, and was a reasonably common species in North American and Eurasian coniferous forests until its range was greatly reduced by the last ice age. Older fossil specimens have been found in Cretaceous era sediments from a number of sites in North America and Europe, and as far afield as New Zealand and Australia. The Giant Redwood is usually found in a humid climate characterized by dry summers and snowy winters. Most groves are on granitic-based residual and alluvial soils with elevations generally ranging from 1,400–2,150m. This tree occurs naturally only in groves on the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California, however, it is cultivated the world over and notable groves can be found in France, UK, Italy, Northern Europe, Australia and New Zealand.
