General Sherman, a giant sequoia, is the largest tree (by volume) in the world, standing 275 feet (83.8 m) tall with 52,000 cubic feet of wood (1486.6 m).
Leaves appear green because chlorophyll absorbs red and blue light energy, causing the green energy to bounce off the leaf’s surface.
Methuselah, an estimated 4,765-year-old ancient bristlecone pine, is one of the oldest living trees in the world.
