Burls can sprout if there is injury to the tree.
Redwoods can grow new limbs and tree trunks in this way. Burlington Campground is located on the Avenue of the Giants next to the Visitor Center. On quiet evenings, campers may hear flying squirrels as they scamper about in the trees overhead. Deer, gray fox, and raccoons are often seen at night here. On summer afternoons, the cries of ravens and the haunting song of the varied thrush echo through the forest.
