| Description |
Giant Sequoia Sequoiadendron giganteum in the Yosemite National Park. For those interested in Natures and trees, they are among the "must see list". Unfortunately, summer 2011 was rather late in setting in and till the last week of April, snow was still seen even in the lower parts of the park, even near Yosemite Falls. There was no way to reach the Sequoia groves in the snow bound higher regions. As a consolation, we were shown a young Giant Sequoia near the visitor centre. Usually, these trees should not have grown at this location and certainly not in isolation as an individual. Maybe, someone has deliberately planted and tended to them for us to see. This baby is only about 100 years old as compared to the 2 to 3 thousand year old cousins higher up. Its diameter of just 1.5 m is tiny compared to the 8 m of the true giants. Before the tall elders who grow up to 75 to 90 m, this 24 m tall specimen is a pigmy! |
