Sequoia trees once spread all over the world thousands of years ago, but most of them were destroyed by Quaternary glaciers, so there are not many left. This is the best-preserved and largest original redwood forest in the world today. Sequoia has green leaves, reddish brown skin, rapid growth and high survival rate. Because it contains a lot of water, and its bark is thick, it is not easy to burn, and the bark contains acidic components, which protects it from pests.
