Tall conifer of California (7)

I believe the answer is:

redwood

(Other definitions for redwood that I've seen before include "Californian conifer" , "big in California?" , "John -, MP; large tree" , "former Tory minister" , "Giant California conifer" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
