Two species of sequoias, of different gender, which mainly live in the California wild and are planted in gardens all over the world are known from two centuries ago. These two species exist in the famous Yellowstone Park. They are the Red Redwood (Sequoia Sempervirenes), which reaches 95 meters in height with a foliage color yew, thick durable fibrous bark; and the giant Sequoia (Sequoiadendron Giganteum), which reaches 80 meters of length and 24 metres of perimeter at its base, with a flaky foliage with thick durable fibrous bark.
Sequoia have a particular way to grow. From a common root, its trunk is subdivided into several trunks that are grown so independent, based one does not need others to live. But in the event that one of them is attacked by a pest or a disease, the SAP of the other trunks acts to save the damaged part.
