Deep in California’s Sequoia National Forest stands a natural wonder unlike any other – the General Sherman Tree. It’s not the tallest, not the widest, but by sheer volume, it’s the largest living single-stem tree on the planet. Reaching an astonishing 275 feet in height and measuring over 36 feet across at its base, this ancient giant has been alive for more than 2,200 years. | Unsolved Mysteries & Paranormal Activities
