🕑 Added 2022-07-28 07:05:56 +0000 UTC TRAIL OF 100 GIANTS: During a heavy rainstorm in the 1800s this giant sequoia fell because the streams running alongside it had eroded the soil surrounding the roots. With nothing to hold onto, the tree fell. It has been dead for over 200 years. It has not decomposed like the other dead conifers on the ground. Why? Giant sequoias contain a natural preservative called "tannin" which slows down the decomposition process, gives the tree its rich red color, heals fire scars, and other wounds caused by insects or animals. Scientists discovered a giant sequoia that had been buried in the earth for 10,000 years and had not decayed because of the tannin.
