A grove of giant Sequoia trees. The largest tree, in center frame, towers over its nearby siblings and sports a large open cavity.

#ThickTrunkTuesday A small group of relatively young giant sequoias (sequoiadendron giganteum), #NationalTrust Nymans, West Sussex. These are amongst a healthy population of sequoias growing at this location, some of which are over a century old and reach a height of some 40 metres. Sequoias are a long term project in any arboretum and will need several centuries more before they get anywhere near full-grown. #Trees #Plants #Sequoias

From the centre foreground of the image, a well trodden path, dappled with sunlight, veers off to the right before being obscured by the dense foliage of a small sequoia. To the left of the path are 4 or 5 other sequoias of varying sizes, growing on a gently sloping bank. The bank is bare of any foliage in the most shady areas but grass and other plants grow where sunlight is falling.

I’ve had the incredible fortune to explore the giant #Sequoias in #Yosemite, and now, this stunning one in #Sintra, #Portugal.

Sometime around the end of the last ice age
—around 20,000 years ago
—a single aspen seed rooted, sprouted, and began cloning itself
in what is now central Utah.
Known as #Pando, which comes from the Latin “I spread,”
🔸the world’s largest known organism continues to grow today,
🔹comprising more than 40,000 individual trees.
🔸Every trunk emerged as a shoot from the same root system,
🔹and scientists estimate Pando weighs about 13 million pounds.

For photographer Mitch Epstein, the phenomenal resilience, scale, and lengthy lifespans of trees form the basis of his ongoing series #Old #Growth.

From the world’s most voluminous #sequoias to the most ancient weathered and gnarled #bristlecone #pines
—which can live more than 4,000 years
—he captures remarkable stalwarts around the U.S.

Photo taken very close to the base of a sequoia tree looking up a long thick reddish-brown trunk to its bushy dark green top. The bushy dark green tops of other surrounding sequoia trees can also be seen.

Photo of the base of 4 large sequoia trees. A blackened fire scar can be seen on the 2nd tree from the right.

Photo of 5 large sequoia trees taken at a distance so the entire height of the trees can be seen, though the very tops of the trees are still cut off in the picture. This photo includes the 4 trees in the previous photo; a blackened fire scar can be seen on the 2nd tree from the right.

Photo of the bottom portion of the General Sherman sequoia tree, which is not the tallest nor widest nor oldest, but is the "largest" known living tree by volume and is over 2,000 years old.

Photo from the Generals Highway in Sequoia National Park. A divided road with double yellow lines splits, with low green vegetation in between and 4 large sequoia trees ahead, with other tall but smaller trees on either side.

Photo looking up long thick reddish-brown trunks to the bushy dark green tops of 3 large sequoia trees, surrounded by smaller sequoia trees.

#Redwoods are growing almost as fast in the #UK as their #California cousins
New study finds that giant #sequoias add 70 cm of height and store 160 kg of carbon per year. https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/03/redwoods-are-growing-almost-as-fast-in-the-uk-as-their-californian-cousins/ #climatechange

"their trunks and branches store large amounts of #carbon... Underlining the urgency of the issue are #wildfires that killed thousands of giant #sequoias in recent years... Under former President #Trump, federal officials sought to open up millions of acres of West Coast #forests to potential #logging"

#SequoiaGigantea in the lower #McKinleyGrove are looking pretty decent after some recent brush clearing and removal of dead trees of other species. This grove of #Sequoias needs a lot more work though. There's several thousand vertical feet of thick, dead timber down a very steep slope that needs to be remediated so a sterilizing fire doesn't rocket through this isolated grove of #Sequioa
