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.
