Description
Giant Redwoods
Known as both the giant redwood and the coastal redwood, sequoia sempervirens differs from its relative the giant sequoia, sequoiadendron giganteum, primarily in the environment it requires. As its nickname suggests, giant or coastal redwoods thrive in the moist, humid climate of the Northern California coast, where marine fog delivers precise conditions necessary for its growth. The fog adds moisture to the soil and helps trap it there by lowering the rate of evaporation.
Giant redwoods typically outreach their giant cousins in height, standing up to 378 feet tall. I photographed these wonderful trees and digitalized to achieve this effect.
