- Coral Tree (erythrina caffra) The coral tree is native to South Africa, but thrives in Los Angeles’ Mediterranean climate. It’s drought-tolerant and grows well in most soil types.
- Bailey Acacia (acacia baileyana) This tree is practically synonymous with Los Angeles, and there’s a good reason for that. Bailey acacia trees are resilient in Southern California’s dry climate, which can make them ideal for certain areas.
- Norfolk Island Pine (araucaria heterophylla) This tree is the classic Christmas tree, but it’s also loved by LA folk for its beauty year-round. The Norfolk Island pine has feathery needles that are soft to the touch, and will typically grow anywhere from 40-70 feet tall (although they can reach up to 130 feet!)
- Marina Arbutus (arbutus ‘marina’) This tree is native to the west coast of North America, and can be found as far south as Chile. It’s also drought-tolerant, which makes it a great addition to any area that doesn’t receive much rainfall.
- Sequoia National Park. Sequoia National Park is easily one of the most iconic places to see large trees in California. For first-time park visitors, we recommend starting with the General Sherman Tree, the biggest tree in California by the volume of its trunk.
- Kings Canyon National Park. Kings Canyon National Park is one of the lesser-known National Parks in the Golden State, but it is home to some of the largest trees in California.
- Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park. Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park is the perfect place to stop on a road trip from Los Angeles to San Francisco. This is one of my favorite redwood parks in California that I keep returning to over and over again!

Apr 27, 2022 · Hyperion: 379 feet tall. Photo: National Park Service. No, it’s not “the” Hyperion — it’s just Hyperion. It started as a tiny little seed about 700 or 800 years ago, which doesn’t put it anywhere near the top of the oldest trees list. But when it comes to the tallest trees in California, Hyperion tops the list.

Tall Trees is a 4.5-mile ‘lolly-pop’ hike taking at least 2 hours. There is an 800-foot elevation drop in the first 1.5 miles. The trail ends at a 1-mile loop within Tall Trees Grove. You must be prepared for a long, steady climb back to the parking lot. Tall Trees is in a very remote area of the park.
