Coast Redwoods

California Big Tree Registry

This table below is a duplicate of the California Big Tree Registry 2011. I am keeping this page in case their registry becomes unavailable, and as a reference point from the past. Oregon removed its registry during a transfer from the Oregon Department of Forestry to Ascending the Giants, causing an online blackout for some time. There are over 300 species below. Each inch of trunk circumference and foot of height gets a point. And the canopy gets 1 point for every 4 feet of canopy width. The points are added for a total. A few species show N. Ch. or Co Ch. meaning National Champion or Co-Champion, or both.
