Planted in 1948 and is the largest giant sequoia east of the Rocky Mountains. It's 116 feet tall and 5 feet in diameter (I don't what year this information was measured).

With most of my life's work connected to precision workmanship and adherence to specifications, that sign would be scientifically correct if it read 'Sequoiadendron giganteum' (Sorry, it's something that's engrained in me to spot things). haha ;-)

I believe there's more than one tree, albeit smaller, at Lake Bluff Farms Michigan, this big trees location is maybe 100 yards from the cliffs overlooking the eastern shores of Lake Michigan and is known for its Lake Effect Snow that blankets the area annually with snow depths that are unreal to most of us, even us in the colder climates. Being on the lake most likely is a bit cooler climate in the summer than some areas.

Thanks beng. :-)

NCSU's arboretum is having their annual auction for members. Prices are crazy this year - I'm glad I got what I wanted a couple years ago!

They are selling this Sequoiadendron grafted onto Metasequoia. Bless their hearts, but, unlike with various other plants like firs and rhododendrons, I don't think it's going to help in this case. Eastern Giant Sequoias don't die from root related issues, they die from foliar diseases.

But good luck to the winning bidder! Assuming the graft is fully compatible, at the very least, the top might be able to grow more vigorously and thus replace diseased foliar tissue more quickly.
