Hazelwood Tree

The Hazelwood tree is a giant sequoia in Giant Forest, a sequoia grove where the largest tree in the world lives - the General Sherman. It is located on a hillside just west of the Hazelwood Nature Trail. The tree had a volume of 36,228 cubic feet (1,025.9 m³) and was the 17th largest giant sequoia, before losing half its trunk in a lighting storm in 2002. The tree was measured in 1989.
