18-32 Sequoias The "big trees," Sequoiadendron giganteum, of the western slope of California's Sierra Nevada are the largest of gymnosperms. The largest specimen, the General Sherman sequoia, is more than 80 meters high and is estimated to weigh at least 2500 metric tons. The largest of living animals, the blue whale, pales by comparison. Blue whales rarely exceed 35 meters in length and 180 metric tons in weight.
