Redwood Bark, Red Redwood Sap
The theme for “Looking Close… on Friday” for the 13th of May is “tree bark”. I am very lucky and have lots of interesting trees in and around me, however my choice for today is a costal redwood tree, which not only has wonderful red wood, but also beautiful red sap. The bark is almost like a fur coat, protecting the tree from the elements. I hope you like my choice for the theme, and that it makes you smile.
Sequoia sempervirens is the sole living species of the genus Sequoia in the cypress family Cupressaceae. Common names include coast redwood, coastal redwood, and California redwood. It is an evergreen, long-lived, monoecious tree living 1,200–2,200 years or more.
