The coastal redwoods are very tall, nearing the biological limit
that transpiration can pump water and nutrients in a plant.  They
are tall and slender.  The other redwood, the sequoia is much more
massive, nearly as tall and individuals seem to be much older, some
individuals beginning their growth BCE if I am not mistaken. Across
the valley from the Sierras are the White Mountains with their even
older, but decidedly unimpressive looking bristle cone pine trees.
