The largest tree in the world is a giant sequoia in California's Sequoia National Park. Called General Sherman, the tree is about 52,500 cubic feet in volume.
That's the equivalent of more than half the volume of an Olympic-size swimming pool, commonly considered to be 88,500 cubic feet (2,506 cubic meters).
General Sherman is estimated to be about 2,000 years old. That makes it only a middle-age giant sequoia, as other trees are believed to be more than 3,220 years old, based on tree ring counts.
