About Coast Redwood

An ancient Coast Redwood, growing deep behind the “Redwood Curtain” in Humboldt County, California, is the world’s tallest living thing. This tree, located in a California State Park, towers nearly 400 feet into the sky, and is approaching 2,000 years of age.

Commonly reaching breathtaking heights, the magnificent, column-like Coast Redwood is not only the world’s tallest tree, but also one of the world’s most long-lived, with life-spans of more than 2,000 years. Fossil records also indicate that the species is among the most ancient of trees — its lineage dating back 160 million years.

At maturity, typical Coast Redwoods tower 175 to 300 feet, and have massive trunks (8 feet to an astounding 20 feet in diameter!) with deeply furrowed, reddish-brown bark. Today, only about 5% of America’s primeval Coast Redwoods remain, most under state and federal protection. This species is truly one of the natural wonders of Planet Earth.


About Jonsteen's Seedlings

All of our trees are seed-grown at our nursery on California's Redwood Coast, which is inspected monthly and licensed by the California Department of Agriculture. Trees can provide a natural barrier against high winds, temperatures, noise pollution and soil erosion, all while benefiting local air quality, wildlife and property values — a Jonsteen seedling will only grow in value and beauty!


About Jonsteen's 100% Guarantee

All of our trees are guaranteed to arrive healthy and in good condition. If your tree perishes despite your honest efforts, we will be happy to replace it with a small-sized seedling for just the cost of shipping/handling. You can learn more about our guarantee and tree replacement policy here.


Seedling Size Chart: Medium

Due to the dynamic nature of actively growing trees, as well as the tremendous variation between species’ growth rates, we rely on the cubic volume of a seedling’s root mass to determine its “size” (Small / Medium / Large / XL). Within each size there is minor variance — the dimensions provided here represent the category minimum. If exact measurements are essential, please contact us about current stock.

Caring for Redwoods

As its name implies, the Coast Redwood is a coastal species, native to the foggy, temperate regions of the far northern California coastline. This tree should be grown in areas where winter temperatures only occasionally drop below freezing. It loves misting, and thrives where it can receive a generous supply of water (although, like most plants, it cannot tolerate constantly water-logged soils and definitely enjoys the opportunity to dry out somewhat in-between waterings).

The Coast Redwood can withstand some cold temperatures, but will not tolerate prolonged periods of sub-freezing weather. In terms of heat, the Coast Redwood can withstand significant periods of hot weather provided enough water is available. In hot climates, partial shading and occasional misting is advised for the Coast Redwood. In regions with colder climates, the Coast Redwood may be successfully housed indoors temporarily for the cold season, or protected in the landscape through heavy mulching.

Looking Good So Far!

I got a medium-sized coast redwood to try growing amost 2 months ago. Product came very neatly packaged and the tree looked healthy. I live in southwest Ohio, outside of its hardiness zone (the tree requires hardiness level 7, we're in 6B). I got peat moss with no wetting agents, but I didn't realize the perlite had wetting agents laced with plant food until I was planting the tree. I've been conscious of watering, and it's starting to grow!

I've collected Bonsai for years but never run across a coastal Redwood anywhere so figured I'd start from scratch with 3 to check quality and service. The specimens are extremely healthy and came packed with care. I put them is my secret blend of alluvial soils and glacial til and they are loving their new home. Thank you

having trouble getting these established

not the trees fault, nor the tree sellers.

but at Idaho 2100 feet elevation, took a chance with half dozen high elevation and coastal redwoods. my giant sequoias all have lived and except getting nipped by deer, are doing well.

the coastal have mixed success, and likely me overwatering them.

getting a second set to plant straight out, and not try potting for a year.
