The Redwoods

wanderer

The Redwood trees in Northern Califonia. Up in hte Mendocino county are the famous Redwoods – Sequoias actually. These are the tallest of the trees — somthing like a 200 footer is not unheard of, and may live for 2000 year! Thats a long time I say. And yes, the dont grow from seeds, rather from layering and sprouting from the root crown. If a tree falls over, it sprouts more trees along its trunk.
This picture taken in the forests off Fort Bragg, CA, when mounted on top of the Skunk Train that runs through the reds.
