Over time, as leaf litter and silt accumulate, the ground level rises to the base of the new trunks, covering the old one. Less-healthy trunks die back, and the thriving reiterations grow their own root systems.
What if the trunk doesn't break, but the whole tree falls over? Coast Redwoods can keep on keepin' on by growing new reiterations vertically from the trunk!
Reiterations may grow out of branches or on other reiterations. The tree may also grow stabilizing horizontal branches that connect reiterations to the trunk. Old Coast Redwoods may have dozens or even hundreds of reiterations - the known record is over 700 on a single tree!
