Redwood trees can grow to be very large. The largest species, Sequoiadendron giganteum, can reach up to 94.8 m tall and 17 m across. The tallest tree in the world is claimed to be a Sequoia sempervirens named Hyperion. The largest tree in the world by volume is claimed to be a Sequoiadendron giganteum named the General Sherman Tree, after William Tecumseh Sherman.
That’s big … wonderful to read about it, I feel a little ashamed that I’ve never seen one. I’m going to do a little research I’m a tree lover… love this photo
GREAT capture...you really give it a sense of scale with the person in front of it.! Their size is truly mind boggling. We were fortunate to see General Sherman years ago and it was amazing.
