	Trees Of Mystery
		In the 30's to the early 60's redwood was used as a separator between the plates of electrolytic (auto, truck and airplane) batteries.
		Couple this with redwoods ability to survive long periods of immersion and their immense durability in the face of flood borne debris and you will realize that the redwood can survive and indeed thrive in flood planes that wipe out less hardy tree species.
		Redwoods compensate for induced leans caused by shifting slopes, collisions of other trees, flood pressure and tectonic induced tilting, by the unusual ability to "buttress" their undersides through accelerated growth on the downhill side.

		The Sierra redwoods on the other hand is confined to the western slope of the Sierra Nevada and as a consequence, one wouldn't have much difficulty because of ones geographical position in telling which kind of redwood tree one was looking at.
		The coast redwood trees are able to sprout from a cut stump or from the roots of the tree and achieve a measure of vegetative reproduction in this way which is not shown by the Sierra redwood which relies for reproduction to a much greater extent upon the establishment of seedlings.
		And in part, I think, the greater impressiveness of the Sierra redwoods may be traced to the fact that in their case it is the enormous girth of the trunks readily appreciated against the scale of a human being which marked them out as utterly different from the other coniferous trees which grow with them.
