| has gloss | eng: The Adam Tree is a giant sequoia and is the 21st-largest (20th largest since previous 2nd largest tree the "Washington" tree fell) giant sequoia in the world. It is located in Mountain Home Grove, a sequoia grove in Sequoia National Forest in the Sierra Nevada in eastern California. The Adam tree was named around 1884 by Jesse Hoskins, who was also responsible for the room cut out of the Hercules tree which is also in Mountain Home Grove. The Adam tree is one of the largest-looking trees in the grove, but three other trees in the grove are in fact larger. Wendell Flint and Mike Law measured the tree in 1978 and came to a volume of 35,016 cubic feet, with a girth of 95 feet. References |
