	Sequoia sempervirens description
		Redwood is one of the few vegetatively reproducing conifers, readily regenerating from stump sprouts in the wake of a major disturbance (typically fire).
		One peculiar consequence of this is the occurrence of 'white redwoods' (see photo), which are trees that originate as root sprouts and are competely nonphotosynthetic, deriving all of their carbohydrate from the roots of their photosynthetic associates (which are not necessarily related, as root grafting is common between redwoods).
		Redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens and Sequoiadendron giganteum) are the state tree of California (Watson 1993).

	The Mighty Humboldt Redwoods
		Redwoods are named for the color of their bark and heartwood.
		Redwood cones are about an inch long and each cone contains 14 to 24 tiny seeds; a pound of redwood seeds would number more than a hundred thousand.
		Redwoods are relatively recent arrivals in their current region; the earliest fossil record in California is found in rocks less than 20 million years old.

	Coast Redwoods
		Giant redwoods are so tall, so dense, and so crowded in the canopy, that some ground areas get virtually no sunlight, and little grows beneath these skyscrapers of the forest.
		Redwoods are also the fastest growing softwood tree in the U.S. and often grow 130 feet in 30 years and 170 feet in 50 years, yet the redwood can live to be more than 2,000 years old.
		There are 90,000 acres of the pre-settlement Coast Redwoods remaining today and most of these are in parks and public preserves, including the famous Headwaters Forest.

	Information about coast redwoods - Humboldt Redwoods State Park
		Humboldt Redwoods State Park is located in the heart of the coast redwood forest area in the Eel River Basin of northern California.
		The rough textured reddish bark of the redwood trees themselves, the delicate greenery of redwood foliage, the lush carpet of sorrel, mosses and ferns on the forest floor, sunlight filtering down over these colors and textures in ever-changing patterns all contribute to the entirety.
		In 1927, an act of the state legislature called for the development of a statewide system of parks, and in the following year, the state’s first state park bond act provided $6 million in matching funds for the acquisition of state park lands.

	California Guide - Humboldt Redwoods State Park
		The national park is well over 300 miles distant, and the first groves next to the main road are still almost four hours drive away, but at least the journey is interesting.
		The first two recognised locations are Smithe Redwoods State Reserve and Richardson Grove State Park, but rather more impressive are the extensive forests of the Humboldt Redwoods State Park, a 52,000 acre region that is second in importance only to the even larger Redwood National Park, 88 miles further north.
		Over the years a fair amount of the original redwoods have been felled for timber, but about one third of the trees in the park are original, old-growth woodland on average 500 years old, sustained by the summer fogs and heavy rainfall that exceeds 50 inches each year.

		The redwoods in this region are impressive enough but are mixed with different tree species and are not as large as others elsewhere in the forest.
		One tree in the grove vied with others to be the tallest in the world; it stood at around 365 feet and survived for an estimated 1,500 years before toppling in March 1991 after being hit by another falling tree.
		It progresses through the forest then climbs up from the creek, through a pass at 2,700 feet after which the redwoods fade away and are replaced by fields and smaller woodland.
