Old Growth Redwood
Old growth redwood trees develop over centuries, with some living trees being over 2000 years old. Unlike most trees, these are a non-renewable resource and will not grow back if harvested.
Found growing in
ColdForest — high
Grassland — few
WarmForest — few
Observed from current live populations — this plant isn't tied to specific biomes, so it grows wherever the climate suits it.
Farming
≈ base time for a fresh seed under perfect conditions. Real growth also depends on climate, soil, and fertilizer. Farming talents (seeding growth, fertilizer potency) can speed this up — effect varies, not shown as an exact number.
Soil & climate
Target soil levels for this plant. Each number is the nutrient concentration (0–1 scale) to aim for: reach it and that nutrient fuels full-speed growth; below it growth scales down (half speed at half the value); more adds nothing. Raise nutrients by spreading fertilizer — see the Farming guide.
Soil Moisture is the in-ground water the plant uses up — a soil resource scored like the nutrients above, and separate from the Rainfall climate band below (wetter ground / nearby water raises it).
Rainfall is a 0–1 scale. Outside the survivable band the plant won't grow or reproduce.
Yields when harvested
700–800× Redwood Log (harvest)
