The biggest tree in the world is the General Sherman Tree. The tree is a giant sequoia(红衫). It is in the Giant Forest of the Sequoia National Park. Can you imagine how big the tree is? In 2002, it was about 1,487 cubic metres. That means you have to join hands with more than twenty of your friends and make a circle in order to embrace it. The biggest tree is also very tall. It is about 84 metres tall. However, it is not the tallest tree in the world. The tallest tree is about 156 metres tall. It is in Australia.
General Sherman Tree has lived for over 2,000 years and it is still growing now. Scientists think it may live for another 2,000 years. What will the world be like in 2,000 years? Maybe the General Sherman Tree will know!
