Buzz,
If my memory is correct General Sherman (the tree) is estimated to be over 2,800 years old. The first big branch you see in Jamo's picture is 274 feet from the ground and has enough wood in that one branch to build ten normal size US Homes.
So at only 400 years old that tree there is just a pup.
I will see if I can find some stats on the General.
BTW;
Perry that is a good find. I due hope the developer protects it. I know they say they will leave those large trees but sometimes they just turn up dead. It is ashamed but it does happen.
