Description
Ever wonder how sequoia trees grow so large? Well here's a clue - they eat rocks
(This photo was taken in Sequoia National Park).

Wonder what this will look like in a thousand years?
Certainly not a scene to pass up, interesting shot.

Thanks. The tree is probably well over a thousand years old already so it may not be around in another thousand (though the oldest known sequoia tree based on ring count is 3200 - give or take a month). So if you want to see it, I wouldn't wait more than 500 years.

Take me about that long to save for a ticket over, at least I'll have something to look forward to seeing.

Thank you. There probably aren't many sequoia trees in Iowa

That would be a no, haven't ever seen any, anyways. I would love to check them out someday!

How come wood does not have rocks in it then, or is it only sequoias?
Great capture.
