What is the name of a shrub like tree in coastal redwood forests?

Depends on where you were in the coast redwood forest. If you were further north (Humboldt or Del Norte Co) I'd say it was likely an evergreen huckleberry (to 12' tall, usually 6'). How big were the leaves? (about 1", huckleberry) Were they pointed? If they were scented, narrow (1" across), long (3-8"), and pointed it may be bay (more of a tree--20-30'). If they were broader, as long, and rounded it's probably rhododendron. If you were further south the likely species might change a little.\nHere's a link to photos; they'll have other photos you can look at and you can search by habitat type too (but I wouldn't recommend it). Of course they're not blooming now, but oh well.

some gymnosperms provide lumber, like cedars and pines

This area has the best soil and rainfall in southwestern Australia and supports lush forests along the southern coast. Giant eucalyptus trees, including the jarrah and karri, grow in areas with good soil and rainfall, interspersed with heath and sedges. Jarrah trees grow up to 130 feet (40 m) in height, while karri trees--the tallest trees found in Western Australia--reach 300 feet (90 m). Both of these trees are prized by the timber industry. Other trees found here include the marri, a eucalypt that grows to 200 feet (60m), and the peppermint tree. Karri forest undergrowth is very moist and dense, with a wide variety of shrubs, many of them with colorful flowers. Blue wisteria vines and red coral vines grow among the trees and shrubs, and numerous birds and marsupials live in these rich forests.\n\nJarrah forest restoration is an extremely complex task, given the very large number of plant species present. Jarrah forests are one of the most plant species rich forests in the world, outside of tropical rain forests.\n\nAlcoa operates two bauxite mines at Willowdale and Huntly in the Darling Range of south-western Western Australia, 80-140km south of Perth. A third mine at Jarrahdale operated from 1963 to1998 and has now been completely rehabilitated.\n\nThe Huntly mine is the largest bauxite producer in the world. Bauxite from the two mines is processed to alumina at Alcoa's three refineries at Kwinana, Pinjarra and Wagerup. These refineries produce some 15% of the world's alumina, which is then shipped interstate or overseas for smelting to produce aluminium.\nI hope this helps good luck.

It is Cupressus macrocarpa. Goldcrest - Lemon Scented Monterey Cypress. This is the ideal plant for the centre of a planter over winter, which will be quite content in such a situation for many years. Very versatile, it can even be trained in to an exquisite topiary form. It the summer, it's scent will help deter mosquitos and keep knats at bay. All in all a lovely, small and easily managed tree for for the patio, or in the open garden.

The Guinness Book of World Records currently lists a 12,000 year old California redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) named "Eternal God" as the oldest tree on earth. Previously, the "Methuselah" Bristlecone Pine (Pinus longaeva) held the record at about 4,700 years.\n\nThe Bristlecone Pine (Pinus longaeva) was first identified as a long-lived tree by Dr Edmund Schulman following surveys in California's White Mountains in 1954. The oldest pines grow at elevations above 3,000 metres in arid, rocky areas of the Great Basin that covers the state of Nevada and parts of Utah and California. (This mountainous area of 500,000 square kilometres has no rivers or creeks flowing out of it.) They exist on the tree line in severe conditions, and often appear to be mostly dead, with only part of the trunk having living bark and leaves. This growth strategy is a response to damage from climate and lightning strikes, and allows the tree to exist on limited resources.\n\nThe bristlecones of Wheeler Peak in Nevada were believed to be older than those found in California. In 1964 a geology student called Donald R. Currey came to Wheeler Peak to study ice age glaciers, partly by collecting tree ring data. Using coring tools, he identified trees over 4,000 years old.\n\nWhen his coring tool jammed inside a massive tree, he asked for, and received, permission from the US Forest Service to cut the tree off at 2.4 metres above the ground and keep a horizontal slab for study. When this slab had its rings counted, it turned out to be over 4,844 years old. Later cores taken closer to ground level by dendrochronologist Don Graybill showed it to be 4,862 years old - the oldest living thing ever discovered.\n\nWheeler Peak is now part of the Great Basin National Park, which was created in 1986.\n\nThen a 4,600+ year old bristlecone called "Methuselah" in the White Mountains of California was considered as the oldest tree now living. Some reports have it as 4,789 years old.\n\nWe can say,today,as ref to The Guinness Book of World Records,12,000 year old California redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) named "Eternal God" is the oldest tree on earth!!

Just choose five deciduous trees - oak, maple, elm, poplar, hickory, chestnut, etc.  Of course, if you need to be more specific, white or red oak, sugar or red maple, American elm, yellow poplar, American chestnut, etc.  If you need things other than trees, try shrubs (multi-floral rose, sweet shrub or japonica) or fruit-bearing plants (blackberry, raspberry, blueberry, gooseberry).

It depends on altitude.  As you enter the Sierra Nevada foothills from the Central Valley of California, it's black oak, scrub oak, and grassess.  A lot of the native grasses have died out in favor of more aggressive introduced grasses.\n\nHigher up, you enter open woodland of pine, cedar, and fir.  Underbrush is mountain lilac, buckbrush, manzanita and madrone.  Some great wildflowers.  See this website for more scientific details!\n\nhttp://www.sfsu.edu/~sierra/flora.htm

5000 huh, thats a long time.  Redwoods live hundreds.  I think there is a pine on some mountain that is a few thousand years old.  Maybe an olive tree.

It could be the banyon.  I'm a botanist, and know my trees, but common names are elusive.

Acacia raddiana -- this is a common desert acacia that is conspicuous in the Mt Sinai area. It is still used (well, was recorded as in use in the 1952 book) today by semi-nomadic peoples who use it for firewood and cattle feed. The wood is described as "very hard, close-grained and durable, orange-brown in color, very splendid for and still highly valued in cabinet-work" (1952 book)

Made from Redwood trees ? you are a moron ! I'd like to see a redwood totem ! How the hell would they erect it ? Move it ? Even chop it down ! before Modern saws it was impossible to fell these giants !

hello curious george! Your answer was adorable,lol!\nRe: this question. Get a copy of the Hartford Courant newspaper. I know a lot about Conn. Yoko Ono lost her bonsai tree in Hartford & Rory found it.
