sequoia grove

Giant tree stand

A sequoia grove is a stand of giant sequoia trees, the massive conifers native to California's Sierra Nevada mountains.

These groves occur in isolated patches at specific elevations, each grove typically named and protected: the Mariposa Grove, the General Grant Grove.

The term emphasizes that giant sequoias grow in distinct clusters rather than continuous forests.
