You cannot help but be touched by the majesty of these trees as you head through California to Oregon on the coastal road into the Valley of the Giants.
Even my young children were awestruck at the beauty and sheer magnitude of these trees!
A large, conical evergreen, it has a thick, fibrous, red-brown outer bark, which is soft and spongy to the touch.
The slightly drooping branches bear two-ranked, linear-oblong leaves.
A wonderful choice for large areas of parkland, they prefer the cleaner air of rural sites and plenty of water to get them going.
Mature height: 20m+
