    Redwood ... bigger than average

    I find it all the more remarkable, because its often very hard to even walk or get around in those forests. They may have done some burning of debris, but regardless, it would be work just to get to work, let along the felling and transportation.

    Redwood ... bigger than average

    Went back to photograph this coast redwood again this summer. We finally published it's name ... Grogan's Fault Its basically confirmed now that this is the largest known coast redwood, and it appear to be at least 1307 points, maybe 309 points. But we have no plans to nominate it to American...

    Redwood ... bigger than average

    Recently, I got an email from Michael Taylor, where he made an interesting point. That this redwood may potentially be the largest known coast redwood. When dealing with a single trunk. Omitting fused trunks or basal sprouts from the root system. Lost Monarch, listed some places as largest...

    Redwood ... bigger than average

    Atkins called that Hildebrant finished his number crunching, with a preliminary volume estimate of 38,299 cu. ft. That's indicative of potential for a possible 3rd largest Coast Redwood. Illuvatar has been listed at #3 with 37,500 cu. ft. previously. I also added another page for this new...

    Redwood ... bigger than average

    Atkins and Hildebrandt did a preliminary volume measure a few days ago. Atkins, using his method, came up with 35,500 cubic ft., which would make this tree almost the 5th largest known Coast Redwood. Hildebrandt is still crunching numbers using his method.

    Redwood ... bigger than average

    Here's one more you may know very well ... where I finally feel I got decent light. Some photo adjustment too, but had a good head start with overcast and early in the day time. Taken plenty of this one other times, but this is my favorite image so far.

    Redwood ... bigger than average

    It would be a bushwhack, but I think if you packed light we could pull it off sometime. I cringed that I didn't squeeze-in an email to you folks, knowing you were up that way. But I found my time crunched having Atkins pre-slated as a bushwhacking partner for some intense off-trail ... two days...

    Redwood ... bigger than average

    If you follow the line, the main trunk reaches almost all the way to the right side. It's 20 feet average diameter DBH. The small stem is sort of embedded / attached on the side and becomes a 5' to 6' thick stem. Maybe 7'. We didn't wrap the small one, but did measure the largest. It's mostly...

    Redwood ... bigger than average

    Chris is setting a 2nd tape wrap in the one photo, about 10 feet higher than the 1st DBH wrap. The low side trunk is about 11 feet lower than the high side meeting earth. So the ground on low side is like 16 feet below Chris's feet in the one image.

    Redwood ... bigger than average

    Here's something we found a couple of days ago. It was a piece of work getting the tape wrapped. We wanted to keep all the plants and roots intact growing up on the trunk. Leaving the stats up to folks' imagination for now. BTW ... this is a single trunk.
