Giant Forest

Giant Forest Sequoiadendrom Giganteum The Giant Forest, famed for its giant sequoia trees, is within Sequoia National Park.

This montane forest, situated at over 6,000 feet (1,800 m) above mean sea level in the western Sierra Nevada of California, covers an area of 1,880 acres (7.6 km2). The Giant Forest is the most accessible of all giant sequoia groves, as it has over 40 miles (64 km) of hiking trails. Five of the ten most massive trees on the planet are located within the Giant Forest. The largest of these, the Gene

ral Sherman tree, measures 36.5 feet (11.1 m) across the base. The giant sequoia tree is the most massive species of tree on earth, and one of just five tree species documented to grow to 300 feet in height (the others are Coast Redwood, Eucalyptus Regnans, Douglas fir, and Sitka Spruce). It is also among the longest-lived of all trees on the planet.

I have selected this as the 2014 family Christmas card. So long as it passes the panel of judges.
