Standing tall at an impressive height of 82.9 meters, with a sprawling spread of 27.5 meters and a girth measuring 25.6 meters, General Sherman commands attention and admiration. Native to California's Sierra Nevada mountains, these majestic giants thrive at altitudes ranging from 1400 to 2400 meters. With a lifespan estimated to reach up to an astonishing 4000 years, they bear witness to centuries gone by.
