The Giant Sequoia is the world’s largest tree species, as well as the fastest growing conifer. Famous sequoias have grown up to 300 feet tall, 36 feet wide, with volumes over 1400 m3, and are known to be as much as 3500 years old.
Ever seen a Giant Sequoia in the bark? Here is an approximate scale illustration of a mature Oak and Giant Sequoia. A Sequoia Grove can capture as much as 10x more CO2 per acre than a natural UK woodland over the period of 100 years, increasing over time.
A single Giant Sequoia tree can sequester as much CO2 as the lifetime carbon footprint of your average UK citizen.
