Description:

In the 1950s a massive sequoia tree stump yielded a slab that reveals a tale of resilience amidst fire. The slab's annual growth rings indicate that the tree had a lifespan of roughly 2,210 years. Furthermore, some rings bear marks that indicate the presence of at least 80 distinct fires that left scars on the tree over that span of time.
