What does “OUR TREE IS A REDWOOD” refer to? A quick search doesn’t yield any definite results.

California’s state tree is the redwood, and that’s where their HQ is.

Right, that makes sense. But why would you mention your state’s tree anywhere, and why specifically in your robots.txt? Seems pretty random.

Have you seen a redwood? They can create quite the impression amongst people.

Redwoods are awesome.
