From Lady Bird Grove, California State & National Parks. This redwood, in the Lady Bird Grove of Northern California's series of state and national redwood parks, had been burned at its foot and had a number of small singed areas. But with its thick bark, it survived the threat and continued to grow to its enormous height and circumference. Like other fire-adapted species, it could tolerate low-severity burns.
