I have no idea if these trees will grow back. According to this article, it doesn't sound like it will...

I thought it all regenerated after a fire! Seeds in the soil stuff!

@maggiemae I think it's harder for deserts to come back since they grow so slow...

What a tragedy if they don't come back. Our natural fijnbos has to burn regularly to regenerate.

Time is different for these plants. The development of such plants takes longer than human life. Great shot.
