Showing Original Post only (View all)THE WORLD'S 2ND BIGGEST TREE CAPTURED IN ONE SPECTACULAR IMAGE [View all]
These staggering numbers represent one single tree, a giant sequoia called The President. Whats even more mind-blowing is that the tree is more than 3 thousand years old, and comprised of some 54,000 cubic feet (1530 cubic metres) of wood and bark. Photographer Michael Nichols photographed the 250ft behemoth in Sequoia National Park.

Maybe a lightening pole to save the tree from being damaged by a lightening strike.

Calling something "The President" doesn't have the same honour it used to
