This tree is absolutely massive, and is the largest Giant Sequoia outside of California. When last measured in 2012, it was 36.2 feet (11.04 meters) in girth.
If you didn't know Giant Sequoia grew in the PNW (and their cousins the coast redwood), they are planted in almost every city in the region.

It always made me smile when someone posted an actual tree to r/trees. I'm glad this joke made it over to Lemmy, and I'm glad you're still cool with the accidental oak or maple showing up here.
(Fuck them shrubs, though.)
Why not one step further and give c/trees back to the tree people? It always was a Reddit joke. Maybe Lemmy needs a new one?
Thanks for your suggestion but we'll probably keep it a cannabis-centric community
