1 A fallen coast redwood will often send up new shoots, growing new trees off of its trunk. This is called a candelabra tree.  Redwoods and giant sequoias were used to build many of the original buildings in San Francisco, Oakland, and Sacramento in the latter 1800s.
gossypol. n. 1. (Biochemistry) a toxic crystalline pigment that is a constituent of cottonseed oil. [C19: from Modern Latin gossypium cotton plant + -ol 1 ].
Young calves and lambs are quite susceptible to gossypol toxicosis. Even though they are ruminants, their rumen is not considered to be fully functional and is unable to bind as much free gossypol as an adult. Swine rations are not allowed to contain more than 0.01 percent or 100 ppm.
