• Some of the largest trees measure 35 feet in basel diameter and up to 300 feet in height.
• The tallest standing giant sequoia is 311 feet tall and the tallest redwood is 367 feet tall.
• They can grow up to 1 to 2 feet tall per year until its between 200 to 300 feet high, then like people they grow out.
• The tree grows at elevations of 6,500 feet
