Today we're announcing the transfer of the famed Bennett Juniper to the Mother Lode Land Trust. We have been proud to steward this remarkable tree for the last 35 years. https://t.co/DsmfKUcYMx

Soquel Demonstration State Forest is a managed area for forestry research and education in the Santa Cruz Mountains. It is logged continuously but does have one small old-growth grove, Harrison Grove. The Demo Old Growths' Grove lurks nearby in the Forest of Nisene Marks.

There are four dawn redwoods in Boston Public Garden. The oldest and largest was planted in 1963; the youngest grows only a few meters away. Another specimen grows next to a group of Bald Cypress, providing a rare opportunity to compare and contrast these closely related trees.

The Worlds largest cashew tree is in Brazil. This looks like a sprawling forest canopy yet is just one tree

It is thought to be more than a thousand years old, an estimate based on growth characteristics. 1/2

@pragmatic Didn't we block you?

*Biennial of blitzing blazes that burned bucolic Big Basin finds biome bouncing back.* The park suffered extensive damage in the CZU Lightning Complex fires, but partially reopened last month. Many old growth trees, such as the Auto Tree and Father of the Forest, have survived.

Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked, have been sacked.

The reprobates responsible for the reprehensible rhetorical repetition in the recent report have been reprimanded and removed.

[Midpen Open Space @MidpenOpenSpace]

If you see a bare tree (in contrast to its green neighbors) in Midpen preserves this summer and fall, it’s likely a California buckeye (Aesculus californica). From late summer through February, these slow-growing, drought-adapted hardwoods drop their leaves and go dormant.

This is the Bonsai tree that was planted in 1625, survived the devastation of the Hiroshima bombing 77 years ago #Today and is still growing today [read more: https://t.co/JAhmuxF4sX]

The photo of Kovar shown here is from https://t.co/wT5MsB3lsO.

The landowner, Stan Acton, was inspired by Richard Preston's book, The Wild Trees.

This is one of many videos of ascents up the Grandfather tree: https://t.co/G107aH0zep

Tim Kovar, founder and owner of Tree Climbing Planet, leads climbs once a year in March up old-growth coast redwood trees on private land in Los Gatos, California. Most ascents are up the 200' tall Grandfather tree.

A much better view of this albino branch...

[Stand out trees | Mostly sequoias @mostlysequoias]

Can you spot the albino branch on this old growth coast redwood in Bear Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve?

[Stand out trees | Mostly sequoias @mostlysequoias]

Even now after decades of logging, most massive old-growth trees are surrounded by others in dense groves. Big Lonely Doug, a Douglas-fir on Vancouver Island in Canada, is a rare exception. Saved in 2011 by logger Dennis Cronin, it is the 2nd largest Douglas-fir in the country.

Great to see this terrific sequoia landscape opening to the public again. Thankfully, we didn't lose these trees to the wildfires last year. https://t.co/Iie7TsefmI

The Hartsook Inn has burned down many times and passed through many owners. The Save the Redwoods League purchased it in 1998 and later sold it to the owners of the Heartwood Mountain Sanctuary. The inn was to become a retreat but currently appears to be inhabited by vagrants.

Fred Hartsook was a well-known photographer in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He owned the Hartsook Inn, next to the Eel River and what is now Richardson Grove State Park in Humbolt County, California. The 50" DBH "Hartsook Giant" sits on a gentle slope near the old inn.

This is a single mosaic image of the world’s second biggest tree, a sequoia called 'The President'. Comprised of 126 Frames, 2 Billion Leaves, and at 75.3 m tall, the sight is quite impressive [read more: https://t.co/LB1GzqmmhV]
