How far can water travel in a sequoia?

Water can travel up to 300 feet from the roots to the leaves in a sequoia tree. This is made possible by the tree's vascular system, which consists of xylem and phloem tissues that transport water and nutrients throughout the tree. The roots of a sequoia can extend as far as 150 feet from the base of the tree, allowing them to access water from a wide area.
