The Ancient Story of Giant Sequoia Trees | The World's Largest Trees - Natural Wonders 4

Giant sequoia trees are the largest, heaviest trees in nature. These gigantic trees are true wonders of nature, able to live for more than 3,000 years and growing from 4,600 to 7,050 feet above sea level. Their bark is so thick and durable that it provides protection against both fire and threats such as fungi and wood-boring insects. These trees, native to North America, are divided into two groups: scale-leaved and coniferous, and their cones mature in 1 year. Even the world's largest tree, General Sherman, is a giant sequoia.

Ty for this video . One of the most amazing topics in science

[BeeFunKnee]

I want to go there just to hug a single giant tree. I just need 80 other helpers to do it is all.

Exceptional! This video gave me great insights into sawmilling. Watching those large logs being expertly cut is mesmerizing. This video is incredibly well-shot. Can't wait for your next upload. Continue sharing these amazing videos!

I’m sure if some of these trees could talk they could tell some interesting stories about people from way back!!😮😮

Take a shot everytime you hear "Giant Sequoia"

Nature can be wonderful if we treated fair.Sequoia trees I believe are the wisest species on this planet, they live for thousands of years in harmony-with nature, and have no brains and yet they exis, consciousness as the human species sees it doesn’t exist in the Sequoia species .although they have the power to exist for thousands of years, I don’t think the human species has that power of consciousness, they have the same DNA and they do everything that humans do, we should study more of their consciousness surely they have something to offer . They live in the same planet.

Did you know there are more in Britain now than in California. There are half a million in Britain, but the oldest is just 200 years old and the tallest over here 55 metres.

I just started working here at the park!

We live in Little Rock and we have cedar trees that are over 100' tall and 12' across! Some are hollow near the ground! There is one you can get inside and look out through a huge knot hole that's fallen out!

Great video, but thumbs down for the “white supremist” comment as it adds absolutely no value to the subject. 😢

[kimnielsenthewordyvikingett]

Eeh what did he say I can't hear anyway so it sounds okay to But the reading is

[ThatGuyz]

I wish we could get just 1 video without mentioning "climate change" in some nebulous way.

[caseycameron]

Fire resistant bark thats crazy here in australia its the complete opposite wow

[richard]

I don't get what you mean by a "white supremist union"? Please explain.

[dprqpcd]

I can't wait to see them ! God is incredible!

[statelypenguin]

I really hate that so many videos have an ai voice now. Its like watching a really long tiktok with their stupid computer voice

[elisemiller]

Let's be perfectly clear, the U.S. forest service didn't "take a long while to realize" the fires were necessary to health of the forest. The idiotic practice of extinguishing all fires in the forest, was born of complete disrespect of the vast knowledge of the people's who occupied these lands, for 1000's of years before European's declared this place as "ours". Get with it U.S. There's lots to learn from cultures other than my horrifically stubborn dominating gov't. here on Turtle Island. Running for our lives from elsewhere, one might think we'd be more open to the wisdom of the tribal elders here before us, but instead we're like invasive species having done huge damage in just a few centuries. High time to become the stewards humans are meant to be.

Coastal redwoods are actually the largest tree species not giant seqouia. The giant seqouias just have larger still existing trees. But coastal redwoods are much taller, 50 to 100 feet taller on average. And the oldest are even older and thicker than giant seqouias. A recently, last decade or so, discovered coast redwood is wider at its trunk than the widest giant seqouia.

I wish every American could see these Giants that live amongst us...some were here when the Christ walked the earth 🌎🌍

[erniemajor]

Then why do they brag about cutting them down??😡
