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.

I’m not removing this because big ol trees make me happy and it doesn’t break our commandments. From this day forward posts about non-cannabis trees will be allowed.
Shrubs on the other hand are bullshit, if you post a shrub you’re getting a 3 day ban minimum.
Just signed back in and realized what I did. Thanks for the leaving the post up!
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
Ni!
