"Candelabra tops" on ancient Western redcedar (Thuja plicata)
Ancient western redcedars (Thuja plicata) on Washington state, switching from a hierarchic organizational plan to a polyarchic organizational plan over the centuries. A radical change of development strategy, from gigantism to reiteration. The gigantic architectural unit becomes a reiterated tree. A phenomenon known as "Candelabra tops" on the pacific coast.
