Giant redwood trees known as Crown Jewel and The Beast in redwood national park, California. It is an evergreen, long-lived, monoecious tree living 1,200 – 1,800 years. Before commercial logging and clearing began by the 1850s, this massive tree occurred naturally in an estimated 2,100,000 acres along much of coastal California (excluding southern California where rainfall is not abundant enough) and the south-western corner of coastal Oregon within the United States. It is estimated that more than 95% of the original old-growth redwood forest has been cut down for timber
