Is redwood and dogwood trees

Answer 1

Redwoods are one of the Sequoiaidea family.

The Sequoia dendrogiganteum, Giant Sequioa is shorter and fatter, and inhabits the Sierra Nevada. They can grow up to 270 feet high, and 20-25 feet in diameter. They live to 3,000 years or more.

The Coastal redwood, Sequoia sempervirens, is taller and skinnier. The Redwood may grow to 370 feet high, and 10-25 feet in diameter. They grow on the Northern coasts of California and may reach 2000 years of age.

Answer 2

Redwood trees belong to the Sequoia genus, while dogwood trees belong to the Cornus genus. They are different types of trees with different characteristics and habitats. Redwood trees are known for their height and longevity, while dogwood trees are valued for their flowers and ornamental appeal.

Answer 3

Broadly speaking all three of the Sequoioideae family are redwoods. The Coast Redwood, Sequoia sempervirens is often what people are refering to as a Redwood though.

So in answer to your question; they are the same tree.

-the Giant Sequoia(or Sierra Redwood, Sierran Redwood or Wellingtonia Redwood), Sequoiadendron giganteum maxes out at 280'(85m) with records reaching over 300'.

-the Dawn Redwood(Metasequoia glyptostroboides), which is native to China and shortest of the Redwoods at 200'(61m).
