THE LARGEST TREE IN 

 THE WORLD 



This giant Sequoia, growing in the 

 Mariposa Grove, in the Yosemite 

 National Park, is known as the 

 "Grizzly Giant" It is 34 feet in 

 diameter and 225 feet high. It is 

 estimated to contain more than one 

 million feet of lumber. The first limb 

 is 100 feet from the ground, and six 

 feet in diameter. Doubtless the tree 

 originally had limbs all the way from 

 the ground, but the lower ones have 

 died in the course of the ages that mark 

 the life of this extraordinary tree.
