[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3002495, member: 7900"] Another fallen giant. The Redwoods have their own environment around them, in that there are a lot of ferns and other vegetation that I don't see in Pine forests and such. We were told that their root system is not so deep, but that the roots of each Redwood spreads out and mingles with the root systems of other trees, thus giving each other additional strength. We were also told that they get a lot of their moisture from the fogs that move into the area.

This particular tree, although not a Redwood, is similar and strange. Both ends of this tree are rooted in the ground, and other trees are growing out of the trunk.
