Rapid Growth of Redwood Trees.

We have evidence in California that Redwood trees cut down sixty years ago have made sprouts which are new trees from three to five feet in diameter, and from one hundred to one hundred and fifty feet high. It is the rapid growth of some of these trees which leads people to doubt their great age, but there seems to be* no reason for doubting that the method of calculating by annual rings of wood is sound, and that the great age imputed to some of these trees has solid ground work to build on.—[Meehan’s Monthly. >
