Giant Redwood Trees

1The Tallest Trees
Coast redwoods are the tallest trees on Earth. If you stand next to one, you have to tip your head way back to see the top. Some are more than a thousand years old!

2Where They Grow
Coast redwoods grow in a narrow strip of land near the Pacific Ocean. This strip runs along parts of California and Oregon. The air there is cool and damp, and fog often rolls in from the sea.

3Drinking Fog
Fog helps redwoods get some of the water they need. Tiny drops of fog collect on the leaves and drip down to the ground. Redwoods can even take in some water right through their leaves.

4Thick Bark
Redwood bark is very thick and feels a little spongy. It helps protect the tree from fire and from insects.

5New Trees
A redwood makes tiny seeds inside small cones. New trees can grow from those seeds. New sprouts can also grow from the roots of an old tree. Sometimes a ring of young trees grows up around an old stump.

Match each question to the heading of the part that answers it. One heading will not be used.
