The computer model calculates that the “residence times” (how long a tree will take to completely decompose) for conifer species range from 57 to 124 years, while hardwood species are typically around on the forest floor for 46 to 71 years.

The world's largest living species, native to California's Sierra Nevada, faces a two-pronged risk from declining snowpack and rising temperatures. The threat to sequoias mirrors a growing danger to trees worldwide, with some scientists saying rapid warming this century could wipe out many of the planet's old trees.

The Redwood Root System You would think that a 350-foot-tall tree would need deep roots, but that's not the case at all with the Sequoia sempervirens. Redwood tree roots are very shallow, often only five or six feet deep. ... They thrive in thick groves, where the roots can intertwine and even fuse together.

If you know when the tree was planted, you can easily and accurately determine its age. The second most accurate way to estimate tree age is to count the annual rings of wood growth. Annual rings can be counted using two different methods. You can extract an increment core from the tree using an increment borer.

(The island) They spawn between the redwood and the massive mountain at very high altitudes. I found 3 at the same time there. Use rare flower to lure it into a trap. On the island map they are uncommon spawns in many places although the best place to find them is in the south east jungle and obelisk area.

It is closely related to and resembles bald cypress (Taxodium) and redwood (Sequoia) trees. Dawn redwood survives in USDA Hardiness Zones 4-8 and may prove well in handling Minnesota if overwintered properly. They are best grown in moist, humusy soils with good drainage, and in full sun.
