President (tree)

The President is currently recognised as the second-largest tree in the world,[1] measured by overall volume of wood (trunk + branches), and the oldest-known living sequoia, about 3,240 years old.

[4] Nearby trees include Chief Sequoyah, the 27th-largest giant sequoia in the world, and the Congress Group, two dense stands of medium-sized sequoias that represent the "House" and "Senate".

The President features a dense crown with enormous branches reaching upward and outward.

An especially prominent white branch is visible the western side of the tree's upper crown.

A long, narrow burn scar is present on the north side of its trunk.
