These Bay Area trees existed nowhere else on the planet. Did they survive a devastating wildfire?

Again, what's with the clickbait headline? "The answer may surprise you!" grr. Anyway, they're talking about the Butano cypress, apparently a relic of a climate that existed millions of years ago in California. And the answer is yes: though the existing trees were reduced to charcoal and ash in the August 2020 CZU fire, their saplings are sprouting.
