It is truly awe inspiring to stand next to this massive living entity and realize it was here and growing for much of recorded human history. This tree is one of the mighty sequoia sempervirens, or Coast Redwood. There is evidence on the bark of a recent (within the last 500 years) fire. The bark of these trees chars before it burns, forming an ablative shield, protecting the living tree.

A burl is a woody lignotuber that commonly appears on a redwood tree below the soil line, though usually within 3 metres (10 ft) in depth from the soil surface. Burls are capable of sprouting into new trees when detached from the parent tree, though exactly how this happens is yet to be studied.

Coast redwoods range from southern Oregon to central California, extending not more than fifty miles inland-only as far as the coastal climate has its influence. Fog plays a vital role in the survival of these trees, protecting them from the summer drought conditions typical of this area.
