Ollie the giant sequoia's treatment update
#giantsequoia
Ollie is showing signs of Improvement, despite having a lot of white branches from an unknown origin. She turned mostly brown and white and then black. Our theory is a lack of photosynthesis and depletion of chlorophyll from a copper toxicity resulting in an iron chlorosis. We think the black parts are iron deposits "clotting". She underwent exploratory surgery and no signs of infection were indicated. Presently, treating with iron and manganese chelation and playing the waiting game. She has been moved to a lab with a controlled environment.
