Sequoia sempervirens - a photo on Flickriver

            According to fossil records, these trees thrived in the Jurassic Era, 160 million years ago.

Commonly referred to as the coast redwood, or California redwood, these trees can grow up to 379' in height and 29' in diameter in a life that spans 1,200 to 1,800 years.  The bark alone can be over a foot thick and is extremely fire resistant, protecting mature trees from fire damage.

A 2010 study indicated that fires may actually benefit redwood forests by thinning out competing species, increasing the relative abundance of these giant trees.
