Enormous Sequoia Trees (22 pics)
These giant redwood trees grow to an average height of 60 meters but can actually reach heights of over 100 meters.
“Hyperion”, the tallest redwood, is 115.5 meters tall and can be found in the Redwood National Park near San Francisco.
Interestingly, a subspecies of this group does not grow as tall but instead expands in width, growing very large diameter shafts. “General Sherman” is the widest of this subspecies with a diameter or 11.1 meters.

Magnificent and as the saying goes: “Only God can make a tree” He certainly has given us much to appreciate and see in this world of ours.
