Giant sequoia tree, Sequoiadendron giganteum, #09884

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.
