The giant sequoias Sequoiadendron giganteum of the genus Sequoiadendron are pyrophytes; their thick, fibrous bark protects them from forest fires, which can often occur in the dry forests of the Sierra Nevada in the western USA.
Since the middle of the 19th century, these trees have also been planted as (rare) park trees in Central Europe, mostly in spacious English landscape gardens.
