| Description |
The California Sequoia is able to grow only on the cold, foggy western slopes of the Sierra Nevada Range (though I saw them grow at Kew Gardens in London, England, as well). Although Sequoia National Park, three hours' drive to the southeast, has more spectacular specimens, Mariposa Grove is spectacular enough. Here is the root system of a dead sequoia that has fallen. Sequoia roots are very wide and shallow, to allow for efficient collection of moisture. Visitors are kept away from sequoia trunks, as their footsteps can damage the root system and shorten the life of these majestic trees, which are known to live over 2,000 years. |
