By volume, some specimens of Giant Redwood are now considered to be the largest trees on earth. ‘General Sherman’, the largest living specimen in California, stands at a mighty 83.8m tall with a circumference of 31.3m at its base and is estimated to weigh over 1,900 tons! First introduced to the UK by the collector William Lobb in 1853, some have now reached over 50 metres. Several at Sandringham House are around 40 metres. Ours is a future giant!
