big tree
Towering woodland specimen
Big tree is a common name for the giant sequoia, the massive conifer native to California's Sierra Nevada mountains.
These trees rank among the largest living organisms on Earth by volume.
The name distinguishes them from their coastal relatives, the redwoods, though both inspire awe for their scale and longevity.
