I have many talents. One of the coolest is making it rain. My leaves absorb moisture from fog and condense it into drops of rain. And then there's terpenes. My leaves release them to help condense moisture in the air into clouds that cool the forest. Pretty magical, right?

I’m used to being looked up to but I’ll always look up to the one who cares for us all, Mother Earth. 💚 Happy Mother’s Day! 💚
I wouldn't mind a hug. 💚 Happy National Love a Tree Day!
I love getting new admirers, especially little humans. 📸💚

The Candelabra Tree is a legend here. And in a forest full of mighty icons, that’s saying something. Pay your respects at Butano State Park: sempervirens.org/trails-rx/si...
Lucky redwoods get a water view.
Yes, I’m strong on my own. But together? We’re a force to be reckoned with. Our intertwined roots help us to share resources and withstand storms. By growing close, we help protect each other during wildfires and recover faster afterwards.
“Heavy fog with a chance of more fog” is my favorite weather. 😶🌫️
I give new meaning to being well-connected. Up here, we’re interconnected. Branch to branch, crown to fog, tree to wildlife, we’re at the center of a wild, living system.
Behold, my crown! 👑 Sure, I’m seen as regal. But my crown isn’t just for show - plants, birds, salamanders and other critters make a home here. Basically it’s my own sky high ecosystem with a lifespan well beyond any royalty.
