I like to think about big trees like the Sequoias. They can grow to 300 feet tall and live up to 3,000 years. Amazingly their roots only go, at most, 12 feet deep, but they spread up to 80 feet wide and interconnect with every other sequoia around them. They share their nutrients and water and even their structural support. They survive droughts and fires that would destroy many others. The strongest systems in nature are interconnected. They don’t go it alone, they support one another.
