The Coastal Redwood is tallest growing tree on Earth. This amazing tree can grow from 300' to 350' feet high. It extends from Northern California to Oregon state. The Coast Redwood can live a very long time, some trees have been estimated to be 700 to 800 years of age in the redwoods of Ukiah. Its wood has always been very attractive and widely used for the construction of houses and furniture.
In the city of San Francisco, the Coastal Redwood has been taking attention away from the Transamerica Pyramid since it was built. Next to the building is a half an acre park dedicated to Coastal Redwood trees brought from the Santa Cruz Mountains where people could escape their office to. The resemblance of the Pyramid and trees in shape and height is metaphorically captivating to think about. Both are triangular in shape and are super tall. Here are some pictures i took at the redwood park by the Transamerica Pyramid.
