Methuselah (sequoia tree)

[citation needed] Jesse Hoskins, who about 1884 named many of the other trees in the Mountain Home Grove, also named the Methuselah tree, imagining that moss streamers hanging down from its bark were reminiscent of the beard of the biblical character Methusaleh, the oldest man in the world.

[3] When the tree was measured in the 1950s it had a height of about 225 feet (68.6 m), but at some point prior to the 1980s the top was broken off, probably during a storm.

Wendell D. Flint in 1987 collected the dimension data given below, which provide a calculated volume that ignores burns.

[2] In 2013 it was found to have 70.30 metres (230.6 ft) in tree height measurement.
