Redwood Burls




Sender: Emily

Text on card: Redwood National and State Parks
Redwood burls, thought by most authorities to be masses of dormant buds, are a common sight on many redwood trees. The peculiar protuberance around the trunk of this tree is truly unique, measuring 6 by 8 feet.

It looks like the bottom of a melted candle!
