Plant a Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) in one of our Irish forests and leave a legacy that will last for generations. Known as the gentle giant, the Redwood is one of the world’s most effective trees for capturing carbon, supporting biodiversity, and inspiring resilience. By planting a Redwood, you’re making a powerful statement of vision, hope, and connection to the future.
• Powerful Carbon Capture – A single mature Redwood can store multiple tonnes of carbon, helping combat climate change.
• Biodiversity Support – Redwoods create habitats for birds, insects, lichens, and mosses, supporting countless smaller species.
• Natural Resilience – Their fibrous bark resists fire, pests, and decay, ensuring stability for centuries.
• Ecosystem Balance – Redwoods influence wind, moisture, and light, creating thriving forest communities.
Despite their towering presence, Redwoods have shallow interconnected roots, relying on one another for support. This makes them a living symbol of community and connection—just like our forests, strengthened by every tree and every person who joins us.
When you plant a Redwood, you’re making a statement:
• That you believe in long-term vision over short-term gain.
• That future generations deserve thriving forests.
• That strength comes from connection and community.
This is more than just planting a tree it’s a living legacy.
• Botanical Name: Sequoia sempervirens
• Irish Tree Name: Dearg-choill
• Native Region: Coastal forests of California
• Expected Growth in Ireland: Steady and tall, among the fastest-growing conifers
Redwoods can grow to incredible heights in their native California, but in Ireland they will grow more moderately. You can expect steady, reliable growth year after year, with trees reaching impressive sizes over time. Even without reaching their North American heights, Redwoods here remain awe-inspiring and long-living.
In their native range, Redwoods can live for over 2,000 years, making them among the oldest living things on Earth. While Irish conditions are different, these trees are still exceptionally long-lived, often surviving for hundreds of years. Planting one is truly leaving a legacy for future generations.
Redwoods are some of the most effective carbon-storing trees on the planet. A single mature Redwood can hold multiple tonnes of carbon in its trunk and branches. They also provide habitats for wildlife, stabilise ecosystems, and improve air quality—making them a powerful ally in fighting climate change.
