Coastal Redwood - Explore August 11, 2021
Big Basin Redwood State Park, California.
The amazing ever-living Redwood Tree.
Capable of withstanding storms, floods, fires, drought, and even tree-devouring termites, these mighty redwoods can live over 2,000 years. Redwoods possess amazing strength, vigor, and regenerative powers. They have earned their name Sequoia
sempervirens-meaning ever-green or ever-living.
Bark up to a foot thick protects the growing part of the tree. Roots grow sideways and fuse with roots of neighboring trees, forming a network of stability. Leaves catch moisture from fog, a precious source of water when rain is scarce.
Red pigment contains an insect-deterring chemical called tannin-a potent repellent against termites, wood-boring beetles, and fungal attack.
Dormant buds sprout and the tree continues to grow after a limb or top breaks off.
