The largest species of tree by volume is the giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum), with the largest known tree, General Sherman, having a trunk volume of over 52,000 cubic feet (1,487 cubic meters). These trees, native to California, can grow to over 85 meters (279 feet) tall and live for thousands of years. Giant sequoias are found in the Sierra Nevada mountain range and are considered one of the oldest living organisms on Earth. Their massive size and longevity make them a marvel of nature.
