Big Redwoods need space.
Lots of space.
Because they have asbestos in their bark they survive the forest fires that take out all other growth. That’s how they typically get that space.
How many of you have seen the majestic redwoods of Northern CA?
They will make you humble. As will the Giant Sequoias in the Sierras.
Asbestos-like bark that contains tannin and grows to at least one foot in thickness, not asbestos.
No asbestos.

Mariner, one of my favorite places on the entire planet is the virgin stand of ancient redwoods in the Roosevelt forest in Humboldt Redwood State Park, which is the largest stand of virgin Redwoods (no logging and no deadfalls removed)left in the world (sadly only about 15 acres of actual virgin forest). I love to leave the trail and hike up Squaw Creek starting from where it intersects the trail at Bull Creek. One of the most wondrous places ever. Been there many times ... usually stay at the Scotia Inn or rent a cottage in Ferndale ...
