The giant sequoias are being wrapped in tinfoil to try and protect them from wildfire.

Sequoias have actually evolved over time to tolerate heat and fire and tend to survive very nicely,

Actually this is to shield the tree from mind control.

I honestly hope they can protect it. I have been to the General Sherman a few times and it is amazing. Everyone should see it in person once.

The redwoods and especially General Sherman are awe inspiring and should be seen in person.

From  everythingwhat.com site on the Internet
"The bark of the giant sequoia is one of its most attractive features. It is a beautiful red brown, is of a soft fibrous nature, and is fluted in long vertical plates which give the tree a columnar appearance. The bark near the base of older trees is often from 6 to 10 inches thick, and may even be 2 feet thick."
Pretty hard to get them to burn

The drought is having a devastating effect on the redwoods that require a wet/moist climate to survive.
