Can you tell the different between a coast redwood and a giant sequoia?
This week we teamed up with Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks to give all the defining characteristics for these two very large, red-barked, and record-breaking trees. Never get confused again as we answer some popular questions - How are redwoods and sequoias different? Where are they? How can you tell them apart? And so much more!
Flat Hats @ Home is designed to bring our rangers and park to you and your home, wherever you may be! We will be releasing new videos at 11am PST every Friday in June - stay tuned!

I planted one of each of these trees on my property this year I plan on spending the rest of my life watching them grow along with a coastal Douglasfir
I'm growing some now in Virginia. It'll be funny years from now to see if anyone notices 😂
Great video, ladies! One thing to note is that coast redwood is historically the tallest, and largest, and widest living tree on earth. They used to shatter practically every record imaginable. Oakland had one over 32 feet wide at chest height, and Fieldbrook had a tree almost twice as big as General Sherman. Unfortunately, the logging of coast redwoods was horrendous. The tallest living was only about a football field's distance from being clearcut before legislation expanded Redwood National Park and saved it during the seventies. A few undisclosed monsters are still out there, though. But I always stop and reflect on how poorly humanity as a whole has treated nature and what we can do today to treat her better.
The volume records from a hundred plus years ago for coastal redwoods are not confirmed/have no real evidence so they do not count. There’s a giant sequoia snag still in existence known as the “muir snag” which is only the core wood and it is roughly 36 feet across meaning that with sapwood and bark it was probably around 45 feet across, and who knows how tall and bolumous
@@BigCroca the Muir Snag is an amazing tree, to be sure. But that 36ft measurement was made at the base. Professionals measure diameter at "breast height" (roughly 4.5ft above average ground level).
Even then, there are multiple living coast redwoods today that are over 40ft across at the base, one of which is a single trunk over 29ft at breast height and 43ft across at the base. The ones that are no longer alive were much wider, at both measurements. As a reference, in the 1800s, William Gibbons measured a stump from a single trunk roughly 32ft across near breast height and a triple fusion 57ft across near the same height.
@@jmcsquared18 Can you cite for me the 40ft diameter tree? That would be quite the find, but I can't seem to find any source that actually documents it.
♥ Sharing ♥ The Coulter and sugar are my favorite cones, but the magnificent coastal redwood and Sequoias trees are without a doubt the most amazing conifers on earth. ♥ I missed going to see the pacific coastal redwoods on my last birthday, so someone please give a tree a hug for me. ♥ Yes, seeing these tree's are my birthday wish every year! ♥ ☺
Thanks for doing these during these times! so helpful! So awesome, keep it up!!!!
Nicely explained - very much enjoyed your video. Thanks a lot :).
Very helpful, thanks alot for picture comparison.
Theyre the same tall trees ide like to see them❤❤
My friend in Sutherlin Oregon has 3 Sequoia on their property and are doing well at about 100 ft. each. I thought they were strange looking Cedar until I picked up cones from each tree, yep, Sequoia trees.
Damn, I didn’t know Park rangers were so hot.
This is so cute!
Redwood’s cone is about an “olive” size.
Giant sequoia’s cone is about an “egg” size.
We need one of these in every yard along the west coast. Might even end the annual wildfires this way
Great info about Sequoia and Redwood. Are they planting/reproducing more redwood trees?
I have all three species of Redwood as well a dwarf giant sequoia (yes there is such a variant)
Why are giant sequoias only found on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada range ? Will they not grow on the eastern side ?
Too dry
it has to do with the windward and leeward side of the mountains No rain on the leeward side, thats where Death Valley is, Rain shadow they call it
Coast redwood has become near-equal for single stem volume. Here, for example >> th-cam.com/video/5Q4v8VbNyOg/w-d-xo.html ... the coast species is also the widest diameter as well as tallest height. Cones is a big difference, seeing upper coast redwood foliage is very similar to Sequoiadendron foliage.
The tallest tree (a redwood) is known as Hyperion. Where it is has been a closely guarded secret since it was first discovered in 2006 and only a handful of people know where it is. I wonder if Ranger Ally is one of those people?
Sos ASAP will you help us build a new forest in Ruidoso NM can you send Redwood trees variety? Cherry blossom trees pink and white, blue spruce, Aspen's, Japanese maple trees, apple trees, wild roses, lavender, giant sunflowers. We need help building a new kind of forest. Thanks again please call Shawn Oneil at Albuquerqe City Parks and Recreation department for flower and tree festival details. Festival start in 2030. Hermits peak and Ruidoso totally stressed the Burque Laguna Island project out. Ask for Details. Thanks for your emergency assistance.
Coast redwoods are prettier their bark
Are you married ranger Ally.
