The Giant Sequoia *Sequoiadendron giganteum*, also called the giant redwood, appears on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List as “Endangered”. This status indicates the species is at very high risk of disappearing from the wild.
Past logging and continued habitat destruction are the main reasons for the giant sequoia’s endangered status. Even with conservation work, these old trees still face dangers from climate change, disease, and forest fires. Safeguarding their natural homes and growing your own trees are vital for keeping *Sequoiadendron giganteum* alive for the next generation.
Growing to heights well above 30m (100ft), these massive conifers develop quickly to their impressive size. The Wellingtonia shows a distinctive narrow cone shape with a pointed crown, plus lovely reddish brown bark that catches the light beautifully at sunset.
Giant Redwood *Sequoiadendron giganteum* – A massive and ancient evergreen that can grow taller than 100m. This is an endangered species. You can help save these old giants by planting your own. Long ago they grew across Europe and Asia, but now their final wild population lives on California’s West coast where fire and changing climate put them at risk.
They’re becoming more popular here and you’ll spot them around the country in both private and public gardens. The tallest is a 150-year-old tree in Scotland that’s over 55m high. They regularly appear in lists of the biggest, tallest, oldest and thickest trees.
Giant Sequoia *Sequoiadendron giganteum* holds many amazing records:
1. Biggest Trees: Giant sequoias rank among Earth’s largest living things, with some reaching incredible heights of over 300 feet (91 metres) or more.
2. Ancient Trees: Though not quite as old as bristlecone pines, giant sequoias still count among the world’s oldest trees, with some thought to be over 3,000 years old.
3. Greatest Volume: For pure bulk, the giant sequoia can’t be beaten. Its huge trunk and thick branches create remarkable girth and enormous overall size.
4. Biggest Tree by Volume: The “General Sherman” tree in California’s Sequoia National Park is the largest tree by volume, measuring roughly 52,500 cubic feet (1,487 cubic metres).
5. Biggest Tree by Circumference: The “General Grant” tree in Kings Canyon National Park, California, known as the “Nation’s Christmas Tree”, is the second-largest by volume but has the biggest base circumference at about 107 feet (32.6 metres).
6. Biggest Grove: The Giant Forest in Sequoia National Park holds many giant sequoias and is one of the most famous and large collections of these magnificent trees.
These records make *Sequoiadendron giganteum* a remarkable species that draws nature lovers and conservation work to protect these wonderful giants for future generations.
