Redwood. Evolution of "spike tops". A 7-foot tree above the Madsen house at Redway (D. N. Falk place), dying back for 10-15' in top. Freshly red in 1937. Looked with field glasses for evidence of squirrel work, and found a few bark strips at base of tree, but could see no evidence of girdling at the top. Tree too difficult to climb. 8-21-37, E.F
