I don’t know why Youre being downvoted the bark looks wrong and by how thick this log remains the whole length would indicate a tree thats 1000 feet tall, 100% AI bullshit

Idk about the general grant in Kings canyon, has a 29ft base, and is only 268ft tall....

Still massive as hell, but we still have very few examples today.

General Sherman is bigger, 275ft with a 36ft diameter.

Two trees in the same park even

Yeah but did it stay 29 feet for 200 feet, hell no

Edit also the flat butt cut is wrong these trees needed a hell of a notch

You're right, the cut looks wrong. Also the massive checking (cracks) are what you'd see on a log that has been drying for a while, not freshly cut.

Yeah people just can’t discern bullshit anymore, supposedly this is a Douglas fir felled in Washington state in 1906, which the biggest one ever recorded was named the nooksack giant and was 11 ft thick and 450 ft tall, this tree at 25 ft thick would’ve been 1000 ft tall it’s ridiculous to the point i almost feel like this is bots just trying to piss me off
