Big, if true. Oh, it’s big and true. Some might even say tree-mendous! From a seed no bigger than one from a tomato, California's coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) can grow to a height of 367 feet (112 m) and have a width of 22 feet (7 m) at its base. The species is the tallest, among the oldest, and one of the most massive tree species on Earth. In fact, the trees can reach ages of 2,000 years and regularly reach 600 years.
