1. Giant sequoias have very specific climate requirements, so specific that they grow naturally only in a narrow 260-mile strip of mixed conifer forest on the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada mountains, primarily between 5,000 and 7,000 feet in elevation.
2. They can live up to 3,000 years. 3. Giant sequoias are the third longest-lived tree species, the only older trees are are bristlecone pines, the oldest one being nearly 5,000 years old, and Alerce trees (Fitzroya cupressoides).
4. They can have branches up to 8 feet in diameter. 5. Their bark can grow up to 3 feet thick. 6. The largest of the sequoias are as tall as an average 26-story building. 7. A few rare giant sequoias have grown taller than 300 feet, but it is the sequoia’s giant girth that sets it apart. They are usually more than 20 feet in diameter and up to 35 f...
12. They are incredibly hardy; they resist fungal rot, wood-boring beetles and their thick bark is flame resistant; they owe all of this unusual strength to the presence of tannic acids. 13. Their hardiness, age, and size are all connected. Because they are so tough they grow old; they have their age to thank for their size because unlike mammals, ...
14. Although sequoias were logged in the 1870s, their brittle wood does not make for good lumber; now, thankfully, most of the giant sequoia groves are protected.
15. Giant sequoias only reproduce by seeds which sometimes remain in the cone for 20 years. Forest fires help open the cones which then grow from the burnt, bare soil. 16. The reproductive success of these grand trees requires something incredible: Each tree needs to produce just one maturing offspring over its lifespan of several thousand years fo...
Oct 16, 2023 · While not the world’s oldest trees, they are known to reach ages of up to 3,400 years. Tree ring studies of giant sequoias provide a long record of climate and fire history, helping park managers and scientists better understand relationships of climate, fire, and the giant sequoia life cycle.
