The Giant Sequoia Sequoiadendron giganteum carries an “Endangered” classification on the IUCN Red List, highlighting the serious extinction threat it faces in wild conditions. Historical logging and continued habitat loss have created this precarious situation. Conservation work continues, but these magnificent ancient trees still battle climate change, disease, and wildfires. Protecting their natural environments and encouraging growing them elsewhere remains crucial for their future.
These massive evergreens grow beyond 30 metres tall, showing off their classic cone shape and rich reddish-brown bark that glows wonderfully in evening sunshine. They once grew widely through Europe and Asia, but their final wild populations survive only along the American West Coast in California.
Giant sequoias have become increasingly popular across Britain in both private gardens and public areas. Scotland hosts the tallest British specimen at 55 metres, planted over 150 years ago. These trees regularly feature on lists showcasing the world’s most spectacular trees.
Giant Sequoia Sequoiadendron giganteum boasts several remarkable achievements:
- They count amongst the planet’s biggest living things, with some growing beyond 91 metres tall.
- Certain trees are thought to be over 3,000 years old.
- They achieve incredible volume, with the “General Sherman” tree in Sequoia National Park holding the record for largest volume.
- The “General Grant” tree in Kings Canyon National Park has the biggest base circumference at roughly 32.6 metres.
- Sequoia National Park’s Giant Forest contains an extraordinary collection of these trees.
The Royal Horticultural Society has awarded the Giant Sequoia Sequoiadendron giganteum (also called Wellingtonia) its respected Award of Garden Merit.
