Redwood

This average-sized tree grows up to 50 meters (164.1 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 279 years old. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a stocky, wonky trunk covered in hard, ridged, light gray bark, and inside, the dense wood is pale brown.

The sparse amount of branches trail down across the ground, covered with small bunches of tiny, red needles. The needles themselves are tough.

In late summer it produces small, orange, tough-shelled seeds.

The roots spread far and go deep underground, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together, with the space between filled with undergrowth.
