These two trees are snags growing wider just not taller. Some snags add a ring equal to the volume of other entire trees in the forest. Simply amazing.
Giant sequoias can live for over 3,000 years, outlasting all of their mixed conifer forest neighbors. What is it about giant sequoias that allows them to persist through millennia?

The tannin, present in high concentrations in sequoia bark, gives the sequoia resistance to rot, boring insects, and fire.

About Roger Passman
Forty-eight of my most popular images (based on views and sales) are found on the front page of my images gallery. Others love them, perhaps you will too!
