Species: Giant sequoia tree, Sequoiadendron giganteum
Location: Giant Forest, Sequoia Kings Canyon National Park, California, USA | The cone of a Sequoia tree is surprisingly small, given the enormity of the tree itself. Once the cone has fallen to the forest floor, fire will cause the seeds to be released from the cone. In this way fire actually aids in the creation of a healthy Sequoia grove.

Fire damage is apparent on the bark of this large Sequoia tree. Its fibrous, fire-resistant bark, 2 feet or more in thickness on some Sequoias, helps protect the giant trees from more severe damage during fires.
