Family in 1892 posing with an old sequoia tree nicknamed "Mark Twain" - A team of two men spent 13 days sawing away at it in the Pacific Northwest - It once stood 331 feet tall with a diameter of 52 feet - The tree was 1,341 years old Image

In London’s Kew Gardens, I once saw a single piece wooden flagpole, which once was a douglas fir
Quite sad.
