These larger than life trees can be found throughout California, particularly in their namesake national park in the southern Sierra Nevada Mountains. Having a hard time differentiating between a sequoia and a redwood (or the Sequoia National Park and the Redwood National and State Parks)? Here's an easy way to differentiate: if you're on the coast, then you're probably looking up at a redwood; if you're inland, then you've definitely found yourself in the presence of a sequoia.

sequoia, 红杉;丰田红杉;红杉资本;红杉树;红杉基金

这些比任何存活的树都大的树可以在整个加利福尼亚州找到,特别是在它们同名的位于内华达山脉南部的国家公园。很难区分红杉和红木(或区分红杉国家公园和红木国家以及州立公园)?这里有一个简单的区分方法:如果你在海边,那么你可能在仰望一棵红木;如果你在内陆,那么你肯定发现红杉树会出现在你面前。
