Giant Sequoias: Sci-Fi Trees You Don’t Need To Go To A Galaxy Far Far Away To See

This massive tree is one of the largest things to ever live on our planet. Climate change and over logging almost made them disappear, but now, the king of the trees are making a comeback.

There is nothing that can compare to standing next to an ages old tree. It's like meeting the wisest, oldest creature on Earth and it's wisdom is silence and peace.

When we visited the Redwoods National Park many years ago several parking lots were closed, so we drove a little further and parked, then hiked back. They were filming a Star Wars scene ! Much later that day I hiked alone because my wife wasn’t feeling well. If you ever get the chance to be alone in a grove of redwoods or Sequoia seize the opportunity. I’m not religious but standing alone amongst those massive trunks makes every cathedral seem like a pathetic attempt to capture the grandeur. As a woodworker I’ve had the privilege of building a few projects with redwood. I refuse to waste a single scrap and hoard the pieces for a worthy project. A strawberry tower I built is almost 40 years old and shows no signs of rot.

If you ever get to visit, they are literally awesome. It's comforting just standing near them.

I would really love to see an episode about the Ginkgo Biloba. It’s such an interesting tree with amazing leaves

"It must be something in the water in California"

What water?

[BirdmanKen]

Just saw the coastal redwoods and sequoias yesterday and today. Hard to say how a tree can inspire affection, and so quickly, but I dare say they did. You truly feel a sense of awe in their presence.

[entvisual]

*Standing under such* a beautiful ancient tree, they are truly a unique species protect them at all costs! 🌲💚

[velksa]

I’ve wanted to visit these trees ever since I was young and still haven’t. I definitely will when I’m an adult.

[DracowolfieDen]

I grew up in Humboldt county, where so many of the coastal redwoods are, and watching this honestly made me tear up! They're so dang amazing and it's great to hear them appreciated.

I grew up 40 minutes away from Sequoia National Park. Then I attended Humboldt State where I was only a 35 minute drive from Redwood National Park. And one of my forestry professors was the guy who climbed and measured Hyperion (aka the tallest tree in the world). Loved both areas! If you ever get a chance to visit either park, I always recommend it!

[larbmining]

I visited the redwood national park and it’s amazing. I was already amazed by the coastal trees, but then seeing the giants looming over the environment was just insane

[beadingbusily]

Don't walk in the roots! Yes, these trees have deep tap roots, tapping into the water underground, but they also have more shallow roots holding them in place, communicating with other trees and fungi, sharing resources, and that's part of why there are fences around the most frequently visited ones.
I'm a former CA Conservation Corps employee (blue hat), and that's what I was taught, long ago.
Respect the redwoods, the Sequoias, the salmon, the earth, please! ( Sorry, not trying to preach. I just love these soul holding, air cleansing and cooling, animal sheltering GIANTS.
We need to respect our elders, including the trees, soil, water, air, ground cover....

[stevebennett]

That's crazy to think that some of those trees have been growing for thousands of years.

[Mr.rawrface]

General Sherman is truly a massive tree. This tree will humble you

[ms.debourghofrosings]

I’ve got a couple of updates to the bristlecone pine knowledge drop in this video. The Methuselah Tree is no longer the eldest known tree in the world. There is an unnamed tree at the Ancient Bristlecone pine Monument that bears that distinction. Another bristlecone pine tree was found a number of years ago that turned out to be even older than Methuselah as well, but its story is sad... a researcher was taking core samples to determine the age of the trees he was studying, and the tool broke. He then sought, _and received_, permission from the Forest Service to cut down a tree to count its rings. It turned out to be older than Methuselah as well.
Side note: I have seen the Methuselah Tree. :-) It’s true that it isn’t marked on the Methuselah Trail anymore, but that wasn’t always the case. I found a couple of pictures from the 1950s.

3:04 ahh I love that Treebeard quote!! (-:

[greenlilac]

Being in the Sequoia forest is so serene. One of the most peaceful places, so beautiful

[nic]

Girl why did you had to say "thickest" like that ? I was eating 😂😂😂

[Aeturnalis]

I've never had much desire to travel the US, except for two places I have to see before I die: the volcanoes of Hawaii and the redwood forests of California.
