ReplyDeleteGeneral Sherman, named to honor United States Union Army General William Tecumseh Sherman, is the largest of 3 trillion trees on Earth. It has nearly two billion leaves and over one hundred thousand cones and is the only known tree which has a trunk 20 ft (6 m) wide 35 ft (11 m) above ground. The largest (General Sherman) and the tallest (Hyperion) trees on Earth grow just 427 mi (687 km) apart.
General Sherman has held the title of world's largest tree since 1931 after a team of engineers, led by J. W. Jourdan of the San Joaquin Light and Power Corporation, measured the four then-largest-known redwoods (Boole, Hart, General Grant, and General Sherman) and determined that General Sherman was the true size champion.
The discovery and naming of General Sherman Tree remain controversial. Potwisha indians led cattleman Hale Dixon Tharp to Giant Forest in the summer of 1858. Naturalist John Muir, who visited Tharp later, explored and named Giant Forest in 1875. Although both men may have seen General Sherman Tree before 1879, neither claimed or received credit for its discovery. Most park sources assert that cowboy James Wolverton, who worked for Tharp, discovered the tree on August 7, 1879 and named it after the Civil War general under whom he served. In 1885, they note, Charles F. Keller of the Kaweah Cooperative Commonwealth, a socialist colony established along the North Fork of Kaweah River, renamed the giant redwood Karl Marx Tree to honor the revolutionary socialist. The name then reverted to General Sherman Tree when the Kaweah Colony disbanded after Sequoia National Park was established on September 25, 1890. However, some suspect that Keller, who also served under General Sherman, discovered and named the tree first, when guide Newton Tharp, Hale's son, led him to Giant Forest in September 1885, and that park officials renamed the tree afterward.
