Museum exhibit on size of sequoia trees
|
|
Sequoia trees have femail cones which use photosynthesis to help nourish the tree and produce seeds and male cones that contain pollen.

The museum knows what kinds of books appeal to kids!

Bark on a fallen tree
|
|
When these trees fall in the forest, I'll bet they make a lot of noise.
|
This is the auto tree where cars could once park on top of it. Look at the size of the roots.
|
The roots are shallow, about 5-6 feet, but extend hundreds of feet to the side to support the tall tree.
