Amazing Photos of Sequoia Trees!

Giant sequoias are the world's largest trees by volume. They are simply impossible to miss, and show us how big a life form can grow on our world. They grow to an average height of 50–85 m (160–279 ft) and 6–8 m (20–26 ft) in diameter. Record trees have been measured to be 94.8 m (311 ft) in height and over 17 m (56 ft) in diameter. Enjoy this photo series of the most gigantic tree on the planet!

The oldest known giant sequoia based on ring count is 3,500 years old. The largest Sequoia still standing today is the colossal 'Hyperion', reaching 115 meters (377 feet) in length!
