Revision as of 20:14, 27 November 2019 by Ponderosapine210 (talk | contribs)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)The Roosevelt tree is the largest giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) in Redwood Mountain Grove, which is itself the largest grove of giant sequoias on Earth, which are endemic to the Sierra Nevada of California. It is the 22nd largest giant sequoia in the world, and could be considered the 21st largest depending on how badly Ishi Giant atrophied during the Rough Fire in 2015.
It is located in Kings Canyon National Park and Sequoia National Forest, at 36°41′38″N 118°55′08″W / 36.69389°N 118.91889°W / 36.69389; -118.91889. Roosevelt is located 37 m (121 ft) south of Hart, a slightly smaller giant sequoia.
The tallest giant sequoia on earth (95 metres (312 ft)) is also located in this grove, along with the Hart tree which is just smaller than the Roosevelt tree. The Hart tree is 85 metres (279 ft) tall, with a volume of 974 cubic metres (34,400 cu ft). The Roosevelt tree, however, has a volume of around 1,000 cubic metres (35,000 cu ft).
The tree is the 21st largest giant sequoia.
