In December 2001, the neighboring Dillonwood Grove was purchased by the Save The Redwoods League for $10.3 million and added to Sequoia National Park. Prior to the purchase, the Dillonwood Grove was the largest grove in private ownership. The two groves are botanically the same and now managed as a single grove.

  • Floyd Otter Tree: This tree was measured in 2001–2002 and found to be the 12th largest tree in the world.
  • King Arthur (tree): This tree was first discovered in 1949 but only seen from far away, the hiker had told a ranger that he saw a huge tree. In 1978 Wendell Flint, Bob Walker and Gus Boik found the tree and named it King Arthur. This tree is the tenth largest giant sequoia. Its base, up to about 50 feet (15 m), rivals the General Sherman for total mass.
