redwood
Tallest tree species
Redwood refers to exceptionally tall coniferous trees native to coastal California and Oregon, among the tallest living things on Earth.
The wood itself is reddish-brown, rot-resistant, and prized for outdoor construction: a redwood deck, redwood siding.
Redwood forests have become symbols of environmental conservation.
