Sequoia sempervirens (species) (Sequoia (genus), Cupressaceae (family), ... Living Organisms (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Species of coniferous evergreen timber tree of the cypress family, found in the fog belt of the coastal range from southwestern Oregon to central California, at elevations up to 1,000 metres (3,300 feet) above sea level. They are the tallest living trees, often exceeding 90 m (300 feet) in height. Trunks reach typical diameters of 3 to 6 m (10 to 20 feet) or more. The coast redwood tree takes 400 to 500 years to reach maturity, and some trees are known to be more than 1,500 years old. The leaves on the main shoots are spirally arranged, scalelike, and closely appressed to the branches; those of the lateral shoots are spreading, needlelike, and arranged in two rows. As the tree ages, the lower limbs fall away, leaving a clear, columnar trunk. When a tree is cut, sprouts arise from the sapwood below the cut surface. Natural reproduction occurs through seed production, although only a small percentage of the seeds germinate unless exposed to fire.

Additional Notes:
Dutch ..... Kegeldragende groenblijvende productieboom uit de cipresfamilie, die voorkomt in de mistgordel van het kustgebied van het zuidwesten van Oregon tot centraal Californië, tot maximaal 1000 meter hoogte boven de zeespiegel. Het zijn de hoogste levende bomen en vaak bereiken ze een hoogte van meer dan 90 m. De stam heeft meestal een doorsnede van 3 à 6 m of meer. Het duurt 400 à 500 jaar voordat de kustsequoia volwassen is en van sommige bomen is bekend dat ze meer dan 1500 jaar oud zijn. De schubachtige bladeren op de hoofdscheuten zijn spiraalvormig gerangschikt en bevinden zich dicht tegen de takken aan. De bladeren van de zijscheuten zijn meer uitgewaaierd, naaldachtig en in twee rijen gerangschikt. Als de boom ouder wordt, vallen de lagere takken af, waarna een strakke, zuilvormige stam resteert. Als een boom wordt gekapt, ontstaan er scheuten uit het spinthout onder het kapoppervlak. Natuurlijke vermenigvuldiging vindt plaats door zaadproductie, hoewel slechts een klein percentage van de zaden ontkiemt, tenzij ze aan vuur worden blootgesteld.
