Giant redwoods are indigenous to the western slopes of the Sierra Navada in California, where they grow naturally in monumental groves. The name Sequoiadendron comes from the 19th-century Cherokee linguist Sequojah. Its Victorian name, ‘Wellingtonia,’ was acquired following the death of the Duke of Wellington in 1852.
