Albino Redwood Tree, Fernwood Campground Big Sur

When you arrive at the Fernwood Campground, right next to the "Old School House" where you check in, is where you will find this rare Albino Redwood tree.

About the rare Albino Redwood
Because the Albino Redwood lacks chlorophyll which is needed for photosynthesis, they are dependent on a host Redwood tree for nutrients. Albino Redwoods are saprophytic, meaning it is a root parasite, receiving its nutrients from a host Redwood tree. The Albino redwood is very rare and because of that we ask that you not take souvenir branches with you. They will not grow and when they dry out they look just like a normal dried out redwood branch.
