to the person who comment about the “vampire” issues you need to have a star trek triple facepalm for that cause you’re just being foolish like the person “someoneSmarterthanyou” vampirism has nothing to do with bats or blood, vampirism can be roughly defined as a parasitic relationship in which a specific organism in one way or another “feeds” from those around it to survive, vampirism is a simple parasitic relationship in nature, with a fancy name

They just share the “juices” from their host, they don’t digest their blood, they just get nutrients from it like as if they were just another branch of their host.

Redwoods take care of each other through their root systems, and will even send antibodies to each other, it’s like Avatar stuff, not like vampire stuff.

One of the most interesting natural phenomenon I have seen in a long time

There must be many more than 25 of these trees–I know of at least ten in my local neighborhood. Many people are reluctant to reveal their location because there are unscrupulous individuals who like to go out at Christmastime and cut the albino branches to make wreaths that they then sell. Still, they may be one of the rarest plants on earth, since redwoods are listed as threatened and there are only, say, 100 of them. Characterizing them as “creepy monsters” is just dumb.

Meh, humans are ruining our Earth anyways. I say use the humans and leave the trees.

Just a quick clarification: the relationship between the two trees is neither vampiric (though it does seem to sparkle, like those rediculous Twilight vamps ), nor parasitic–as the “paarent” tree does not appear to be negatively impacted. This is actually a symbiotic relationship known as commensalism, a relationship where one organism benefits while the other is not significantly harmed.
