| General Sherman is a towering giant sequoia that stretches to 275 feet or 83 meters. It is as tall as a 27-story high-rise building and is 102.6 feet or 31 meters around. That makes it the largest (by volume) individual tree in the world.
The general lives in the Sequoia National Park in California and scientists believe it could be anywhere from 2,300 to 2,700 years old. |
