World’s second-biggest tree in National Geographic

Check out the world's second-biggest tree in the world in the latest issue of National Geographic.

Wow. Sometimes you can’t help but look at nature and just be blown away by it. Take, for example, the 3,200 year old sequoia trees featured in the December issue of National Geographic magazine.

The trees only grow in the Sierra Nevada mountain range and are some of the biggest trees in the world. National Geographic photographer Michael Nichols spent two weeks in Sequoia National Park taking snaps of the “President”, which is the second-biggest tree in the world.

The trees are around 247ft, which is the height of a 20-storey building and they never stop growing. In fact, the older they get the get, the faster their growth rate.

Their trunks are wider than the average house, which means they are so sturdy that they’re protected from natural disasters, such as severe winds and storms.

To read all of the magazine’s findings on the trees check out the December issue of National Geographic, before you subscribe and save on a National Geographic magazine subscription today.
