Big BurlOne of the keys to the survival of the redwood is its regenerative abilities. One of the regenerative capabilities of the redwood involves the burl. A burl is made up of dormant redwood stems, and is covered in bark. A burl grows when a redwood is cut, damaged, or injured, or diseased. A burl is a lumpy outgrowth from the tree's trunk, often at its base as is seen below. Saplings may sprout from these burls. The trees which result from growth originating in a burl are genetically identical to the original tree.

Towering Version 2I have two versions of this photo, I can't decide which I like better. This is the lighter one. You can see Brian better but it just doesn't seem as powerful and domineering.
