Who would ever think we have trees that soar the height of a 35 story building, weigh as much as 800 buses, and have enough wood in one tree to build 40 houses? Who would ever think we have trees living right now that emerged from tiny seeds while the Egyptian Dynasties still ruled the Nile Valley and were 100 feet tall when the Roman Empire fell. And these same trees had close relatives that lived when the Pterodactyl and Tyrannosaurus Rex still ruled the earth? Who would ever think we have trees than can create their own environment, are immune to disease and parasites, and have developed ways to live for many years even after being cut down? Well, we do.

These are the largest and most remarkable trees on earth, and this is their story.
