This grove contains the thirteenth largest tree in the world, the Ishi Giant. This tree was only discorvered in the 1990s this proves there may still be some supergiants out there not yet discovered.

Noteworthy Trees

Some of the trees found in the grove that are worthy of special note are:

*Ishi Giant: This huge tree has very few visiters, as it is very tricky to find because it is not very well known. The tree looks very old and has burn scars all round the base. This tree is the thirteenth largest in existence and contains 38,156 cubic feet of wood.
*Evans Tree: This tree is actually in a grove called evans grove, but the groves are closely separated so sometimes are referred to as one big grove. It was mearsured in 1981 and had a volume of 30,232 cubic feet.
