Giant Sequoias can be over 90 metres in height and 17 metres in diameter and are found exclusively in the Western Side of the Sierra Nevada in California. They can be over 3500 years o9ld and they grow very slowly, it could even take several years for a seed to mature. There are also some amazing photos from 1906.
