The Hart tree, a Giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) in the Redwood Mountain Grove, Kings Canyon National Park, California, United States. Redwood Mountain Grove is the largest grove of Giant sequoias in the world. This majestic tree is said to be the 25th largest giant sequoia in the world, and could be considered the 24th largest, depending on how badly Ishi Giant atrophied during the Rough Fire in 2015. The tree was named after Michael Hart, who discovered it sometime around 1880. 📷
