The biggest tree (by volume) is the General Sherman Sequoia Tree. At about 1385 tons, 275 ft tall and about 2200 years old this is one big tree;
To put it in context, Jakki is standing at the bottom in the pink shirt;
View from the other side, it's just one very big tree in a grove of big trees;
However, I never saw Jakki as a tree huger;
The black scars are caused by forest fires, eventually the tree grows back over the scar;
Some are big enough to walk through;
Others you can drive a car through;
At one time (until the Seventies) you could drive a car onto this fallen tree;
Now you can only walk on it;
Sequoia = big tree.
Health and safety strikes again
