The world’s largest tree has been climbed for the very first time! Researchers ascended General Sherman in Sequoia National Park to assess the giant sequoia’s health. Specifically, they were looking for bark beetles, which have killed 40 other sequoias in and around the California park. But there’s good news to report: General Sherman is strong and healthy!
General Sherman is roughly 2,200 years old, standing at 275 feet tall. It’s the largest living tree on earth by volume. Other trees are taller, wider, and older, and trees before General Sherman are believed to have been even larger.
The researchers climbed General Sherman to see how it is doing amid climate change. There are concerns about how it could survive increasing threats, including bark beetles and wildfires. But experts say General Sherman appears to be well-equipped to ward off threats in the near future.
