This tree is utilizing a “last ditch” effort to survive the wildfires that struck Altadena, Calif., in January 2025. The tree has generated abnormal growth in the form of mossy leaves and needles in areas that normally do not produce such foliage. This is done in an attempt to draw in as much energy from the sun and any precipitation to sustain life, in an attempt to survive. The photo was taken June 24, 2025.
