  General Sherman is the largest tree in the world by volume. At 275 feet tall and a diameter of 36 feet at its base, this giant sequoia is thought to be around 2,200 years old. This tree is so beloved, that when the recent wildfires swept through Sequoia National Park, Cal Fire leapt into action, wrapping this national treasure in protective blankets until the fire was contained.
