Capitol Park Moon Tree
Sacramento, California
This coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) was planted in Capitol Park
in Sacramento, California in April 1976 (April 20?).
It is located by the Capitol building next to the
security pavillion. The tree is
about 120 feet tall with a canopy of approximately 40 feet. The
pavillion plans were designed to ensure the tree's safety.
The tree was featured on Huell Howser's "California's Gold" program in 2008.
