Exhibition Label: "Trees & Other Ramifications: Branches in Nature & Culture," Mar-2009, Steve Goddard Bull Creek Flats is in Humboldt Redwoods State Park. The Redwoods found in this part of Northern California are Coast Redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens) which, though less massive than the Giant Sequoias (Sequoiadendron giganteum), grow to enormous heights. The world’s tallest tree, “Hyperion,” is a Coast Redwood, recently measured at 115.55 meters (379.1 feet). Coast Redwoods usually live for 500 to 700 years, with a few reaching 2,000 years.
