The world's most massive living things are California's giant sequoia trees. They do not grow as tall as the Redwoods but their trunks are much thicker and their total bulk greater. The General Grant tree is the largest glant sequoia tree and it contains sufficient wood to build a village of 50 six-room houses. Sequoias may live up to as many as 3.000 years. Their longevity is largely due to the extraordinary quality of their bark. It is too thick (sometimes up to two feet) and too highly flavoured with tannin to be vulnerable attack by any known species of insect. Spongy and fibrous, it is nearly as fireproof as asbestos. The top of one sequoia, struck by lightning in a July thunderstorm, smouldered quietly without damaging the tree, until it was put out by a snowstorm in October. The only things that can probably damage a mature sequoia are change of climate. earthquakes and erosion. The latter two causes might upset the balance of the tree and cause it to topple. But even this is unlikely: a sequoia's great flat mat of roots covers three or four acres. A giant sequoia may begin to bear seeds at seventy years of age but is not considered fully mature until it is three hundred years old. It produces millions of seeds but with the heavy shade cast by the tree and the matted roots beneath them, these seeds have little chance of maturing. Experts believe that out of a billion seeds, there is the possibility of on taking root
