why are you mentioning inland Giant Sequoia\'s?
I posted a link above to \"Coast Redwood\" which redirects to \"Sequoia\". Not sure if it was right or wrong, but the page states that the Sequoia is known as the California Redwood, which is what National Geographic referred to in its article.
The Coastal/California Coast Redwood is known as Sequoia semperviren which is indeed part of the Cupressaceae family, the same family as inland Redwoods known as Giant Sequoia/Sierra Redwood [Sequoiadendron giganteum]. Either way both species of tree grow over 300\' and both have been known to age past 2000 years. At least this is what most reliable sources report.
