Managed to get a pic that’s actually able to convey the scale and size of a redwood.

    So big it's hard to believe it's real when you're from the east coast. Hope I can see them one day.

    No amount of scale photos ever does it justice. These trees are mind boggling.

    Lol meanwhile I literally have a redwood tree right in my backyard.

    Sometimes I forget that they only grow in this one small part of the world xD

    They have been planted in other places. I’ve seen them in Australia. But ours are all babies. Maybe a century old so impressive but not crazy impressive.

    Hey can you take back all your eucalyptus trees we have here?

    They keep catching on fire and it's kind of annoying

    People say similar things about Pinus radiata in Australia. Imported from the US to grow for timber (we still have plantations) but it’s become invasive and people think it adds to fire risk.

    So jealous. The closest I have is ONE dawn redwood growing where it's sheltered from harsh cold by the buildings around it lmao

    I hope you can see them as well! I made it out to Yosemite and Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park this year for the first time. Having lived in NC most of my life, those parks are just mind blowing in all regards. We have nothing like them on the East Coast. Pictures do no justice to the size of those trees out there.

    The tree in this picture is a coast redwood, not a giant sequoia that you see in the sierra mountains

    You don’t need to sell me on going back West and seeing more big ass trees. I appreciate you educating me, any particular park these can be seen in?

    Any state or national park in Humboldt or Del Norte county such as redwood state and national park or Jedidiah smith redwood state park

    Impressive. I tried so many times on my trip there to get a photo like this and I wasn't ever successful.

    Walking through those forests is absolutely a life-changing experience.

    It’s pretty amazing how these trees are even possible. The amount of weight it has to support is next level

    I think redwoods and sequoias are some of the most magnificent living things in our world♥️

    Why is r/trees called r/trees?

    Why is your first instinct to dismiss something you don't understand instead of trying to learn more?
