There is nothing that can compare to standing next to an ages old tree. It's like meeting the wisest, oldest creature on Earth and it's wisdom is silence and peace.
@Sara Stanojevic What you said is so hopelessly New Age & stupid I have to ask how did you ever learn to write? It's rather impressive for a window licker 😆🤣😂😆🤣😂!
When we visited the Redwoods National Park many years ago several parking lots were closed, so we drove a little further and parked , then hiked back. They were filming a Star Wars scene ! Much later that day I hiked alone because my wife wasn’t feeling well. If you ever get the chance to be alone in a grove of redwoods or Sequoia seize the opportunity. I’m not religious but standing alone amongst those massive trunks makes every cathedral seem like a pathetic attempt to capture the grandeur. As a woodworker I’ve had the privilege of building a few projects with redwood. I refuse to waste a single scrap and hoard the pieces for a worthy project. A strawberry tower I built is almost 40 years old and shows no signs of rot.
There's an Art Nouveau basilica in Spain called the Sagrada Familia that was inspired by sequoias. The facades have decorative work and geometric relationships that recall the canopies of redwood forests, and the spires resemble sequoias in height and width.
That’s why the coastal redwoods were so heavily logged. Their wood is resistant to rot. Fortunately, if they’re not bulldozed, they resprout from the trunks, so many previously logged trees are already huge again, just not 400 feet.
Our city planted decorative Ginko trees all through downtown, but didn't realize that they were mostly female, and now during certain parts of the year, downtown smells like a dog puked up it's own poop...and yes it gets stuck on your shoes the same if you step in it...
@@tippyc2 Oh, really? I’ll be out there this summer (last week of July and first week of August), any time I’ve been in northern California it’s seemed relatively moist for the west. I hope it’s not paper-dry by then.
Just saw the coastal redwoods and sequoias yesterday and today. Hard to say how a tree can inspire affection, and so quickly, but I dare say they did. You truly feel a sense of awe in their presence.

I live about 1.5 hours away from the giant sequoias. It's fun to take a drive on up and hike around these beautiful giants. One of the perks of living in the Central Valley.
At the rate we are going, the giant sequoias are either going to literally out-live human civilization or we'll take them down with us. Let's try to make sure that doesn't happen.
I grew up in Humboldt county, where so many of the coastal redwoods are, and watching this honestly made me tear up! They're so dang amazing and it's great to hear them appreciated.
I grew up 40 minutes away from Sequoia National Park. Then I attended Humboldt State where I was only a 35 minute drive from Redwood National Park. And one of my forestry professors was the guy who climbed and measured Hyperion (aka the tallest tree in the world). Loved both areas! If you ever get a chance to visit either park, I always recommend it!
Don't walk in the roots! Yes, these trees have deep tap roots, tapping into the water underground, but they also have more shallow roots holding them in place, communicating with other trees and fungi, sharing resources, and that's part of why there are fences around the most frequently visited ones. I'm a former CA Conservation Corps employee (blue hat), and that's what I was taught, long ago. Respect the redwoods, the Sequoias, the salmon, the earth, please! ( Sorry, not trying to preach. I just love these soul holding, air cleansing and cooling, animal sheltering GIANTS. We need to respect our elders, including the trees, soil, water, air, ground cover....
I visited the redwood national park and it’s amazing. I was already amazed by the coastal trees, but then seeing the giants looming over the environment was just insane
i think some non-photosynthesizing parasitic plants deserve an episode! they're so incredibly interesting and are always the most beautiful plants I come across when I go out hiking!
I’ve got a couple of updates to the bristlecone pine knowledge drop in this video. The Methuselah Tree is no longer the eldest known tree in the world. There is an unnamed tree at the Ancient Bristlecone pine Monument that bears that distinction. Another bristlecone pine tree was found a number of years ago that turned out to be even older than Methuselah as well, but its story is sad... a researcher was taking core samples to determine the age of the trees he was studying, and the tool broke. He then sought, _and received_, permission from the Forest Service to cut down a tree to count its rings. It turned out to be older than Methuselah as well. Side note: I have seen the Methuselah Tree. :-) It’s true that it isn’t marked on the Methuselah Trail anymore, but that wasn’t always the case. I found a couple of pictures from the 1950s.
@@cookingwithtabitha It was... it was also criminally impatient. The researcher could have come back the following season, gotten the data, and made an addendum to his research the following year. The tree had been around before the pyramids. The data could have waited another year.
I’m currently on vacation visiting the sequoia national park and yeah these trees are astounding, and it’s also crazy how you have to drive up mountains for miles to reach the forest hidden upon mountains.
I've never had much desire to travel the US, except for two places I have to see before I die: the volcanoes of Hawaii and the redwood forests of California.
Too bad, it is a beautiful country. Southern Utah/ Northern Arizona is crazy beautiful, among many many others. I'm not even going to tell you my favorites, cause I like solitude.
Don think the book is bad because of it looks! Is a beautiful country when you look the nature and the animals. Me Because O don't have the resources yet, but I would visit this country first!
I've seen every single video you guys have released and I wanted to say thank you for such high-quality videos, I look forward to them every time. much love
I read that in Gippsland, Victoria, Australia, there used to be Mountain Ash ( Eucalyptus regnans) that was taller than the tallest Coastal Redwood. They were cut down. But they are still the tallest flowering tree/plant in the world. Video idea: New Zealand plants that change leaf shape from immature to mature when moas used to feed on them.
TIL, thanks! They certainly seem like they are a contender. Crazy to think they are still being logged today just to be wood chipped for paper. AU atleast seems to have somewhat better forestry policy than we have here (logging wise)
When I was little I hugged General Sherman Haha! We went and hiked in the Sequoias and saw it there. We also saw quite a bit of dear, 7 bears, and some other things that were cool. The tree was humongous! We’re so small compared to the world lol.
Did George Guess that a tree would be named for him? Sequoyah was born near what is now the Tennessee-North Carolina border, lived in Arkansas and Oklahoma, and even traveled to Mexico looking for Cherokees, but never visited the places where Sequoia trees live.
I’ll be amongst the coast redwoods and giant sequoias this summer. My girlfriend’s never been out west, so I’m taking her to the north coast and Sequoia National Forest to get started. These things are absolutely surreal, it’s a crazy feeling to walk around under their shade.
Our favorite coastal redwood grove burnt during last years fire season, and although most of the shrubs were burnt and and dead, the redwoods were still standing tall with just singed bark, and there were even some saplings sprouting out of the dirt and ash. The ferns were mostly wiped out, except for the ones nearest the creek. It is still a nice place to meditate among giants even if there is less greenery
for about 5 years I went camping in the sequoias with my family for about a week at the beginning of summer, and it's pretty amazing. I can't have as fun camping somewhere else because its never as beautiful as the wonderland of mountain and huge trees
Hyperion's location is kept secret so that crowds of people don't love it to death. It's not far from what was thought to be the world's tallest tree in the '80s and a few other runner-ups, which are quite easy to find if you're willing to hike 17 miles round trip. It's very pretty out there.
I love the expression, “a triceratops paying hide and seek”~~ Giant Sequoias are humongous~🏆💯♡ Thank you for sharing this excellent video! 🤗👍 🔆AniFam〽️
Great episode! I noticed the diagram at 1:25 is incorrect for diameter. The diagram shows circumference around the tree, not diameter, which is a cross-section from side to side.
I live in the Santa Cruz Mountains amongst the Coast Redwoods . This past year we were devastated by fire but the Redwoods are growing back. They are very precious to us small town folks . A mature Coastal Redwood can absorb up to 1500 gallons or water through their leaves from fog in a single day . The Dawn Redwood is deciduous so it looses it's leaves every winter unlike the evergreen redwoods . It was thought to be extinct until a small grove was discovered in China in 1940 .
I used to live in the Bay area of California, my grandparents to me to see the sequoias and we even drove through one! Happy New Year Tasha, I love your videos!!
I'd love to see one of the those "OG giant sequoias" and the costal redwoods... I had the chance to see some of the European ones, in Brantôme in France and Baden-Baden in Germany, and even at that age and size, it's somewhat of an humbling experience. All of those trees I've seen grow in parks, and you walk around, you have what I'd consider "massive trees" around, ancient oaks, beech, linden, you wander around some more and then you see it from afar, this enormous thing that just dwarfs all the other trees in every single way. Like a Great Dane in a pack of French Bulldog. Only you know the Dane is still a pup and will grow to the size of a Grizzly. How someone would even consider cutting such a creature down for any reason is beyond me.
0:39 Hate to break it to you, but they are not even NEAR the largest thing to ever live. That award goes to Pando, the Aspen clone tree in Utah, taking up 108 acres and weighing around 6000 tonnes, and the honey fungus in Malheur National Forest in Oregon, which is spans around 2200 acres and weighs 605 tons.
There is a sequoia plantation in Warburton Australia. A Californian planted a bunch of them about a hundred years ago, i can only imagine to remind them of home.
I'm really happy that this series keeps on going, I wasn't interested in plants but this series of videos are really interesting and I watch them with pleasure
Awesome video, I was wondering if you guys could cover the tallest flowering trees in the world, Eucalyptus regnans. They're also known as Australian mountain ash or swamp gums, and just like the largest sequioas, the tallest E.regnans is named Centurion.
You can't visit hyperion (I tried) because he's not in a park, he's just out in the middle of the woods somwhere and isn't worth seeing anyways since the forest is so dense you can't tell that he's the tallest. You CAN visit general Sherman though and he is defenetly worth the visit
@@twonumber22 mmmmm... the first time I saw the northern lights... out skating alone in the middle of a lake around 2am in waaaay-north Ontario... with a roaring fire in the cabin stove to greet me in from -30... I know exactly what you mean =)
The tallest tree in the world was actually an Australian Eucalyptus Regnans(Mountain Ash) before it was chopped down in the 19th century. Its possible that one was 122 meters tall making it the tallest tree in the world at the time.
Hey Tasha, that was awesome. Could you please do a segment on Tree Ferns? On a side note, Walter Burley Griffin the Californian architect of Canberra wanted Redwoods as the main street tree beleiving that the climate was similar and had thousands planted. Sadly most died leaving only a few scattered around Kingston and Reid. I’ve also seen Eucalyptus Regnans (Mountain Ash) the world’s tallest hardwood planted in gardens under powerlines!
Such a good video. This channel always helps me relax and forgot about everything else- thank you! By the way, I always thought redwoods were the biggest trees in existence!
Not a sequoia, but my grandparents have a 20+ meter tall pine tree in their front yard. I used to have nightmares about it falling over and turning the house into kindling.
There is nothing that can compare to standing next to an ages old tree. It's like meeting the wisest, oldest creature on Earth and it's wisdom is silence and peace.

They will get huge within just a few decades if not less. If in the correct climate they can grow around a meter a year every year for decades

You can't visit hyperion (I tried) because he's not in a park, he's just out in the middle of the woods somwhere and isn't worth seeing anyways since the forest is so dense you can't tell that he's the tallest. You CAN visit general Sherman though and he is defenetly worth the visit
I cackled a little too loudly at the Futurama reference lol. Awesome video!
General Sherman gifted me a piece of its bark. It's one of my most treasured possessions
I will plant those trees outside my house to annoy future generations lmao
I went exploring a forest of these once, and it's the closest thing to a religious experience I've ever had.
Stargazing on top of a 10k ft. volcano was the same for me.
@@twonumber22 mmmmm... the first time I saw the northern lights... out skating alone in the middle of a lake around 2am in waaaay-north Ontario... with a roaring fire in the cabin stove to greet me in from -30... I know exactly what you mean =)
@@twonumber22 Where's that?

As for suggestions, I'm voting for Pando in Utah too!
Oh, and giving Floralogic its own channel!
I love these videos and your style, Tasha.

I've visited the Grizzly Giant in one of Yosemite's sequoia groves. So cool!
damn i bet that thing was huge
I am LOVING these videos. Thank you miss amazon.
The tallest tree in the world was actually an Australian Eucalyptus Regnans(Mountain Ash) before it was chopped down in the 19th century. Its possible that one was 122 meters tall making it the tallest tree in the world at the time.
Great educational video! I was researching the sequoia trees, found everything I was looking for and more in this footage. 😎👍 Gabe Approved!
Please honor the spring and talk about tulips and how they made Holland loose it's shot on them back in the day
Endor was actually filmed in the Coastal Redwoods of Northern California, not the Giant Sequoias that are much further south and inland.
Hey Tasha, that was awesome. Could you please do a segment on Tree Ferns? On a side note, Walter Burley Griffin the Californian architect of Canberra wanted Redwoods as the main street tree beleiving that the climate was similar and had thousands planted. Sadly most died leaving only a few scattered around Kingston and Reid. I’ve also seen Eucalyptus Regnans (Mountain Ash) the world’s tallest hardwood planted in gardens under powerlines!
One of my first jobs was in Kings Canyon National Park. Those trees are awesome.
Such a good video. This channel always helps me relax and forgot about everything else- thank you!
By the way, I always thought redwoods were the biggest trees in existence!
Nice vid. Enjoyed that x
Not a sequoia, but my grandparents have a 20+ meter tall pine tree in their front yard. I used to have nightmares about it falling over and turning the house into kindling.
This was so awesome thank you 👍 😎
