The largest tree in the world - sequoia national park

The first photo shows the largest tree in the world. Largest tree in this context doesn't mean tallest or widest. Largest mean the tree with the most wood volume. The tree's volume is 1380 cubic meters and its weight is 1350 tons.

The tree is 2200 years old and will not die of old age. The seeds also need fire to open up.

The other photos are from the same area and all are taken with my mobile phone.

Many fires go through the forest but don't damage the trees. Actually the seeds need fire to open up
