Wawona Tree
The Wawona Tree, also known as the Wawona Tunnel Tree, was a famous giant sequoia that stood in Mariposa Grove, Yosemite National Park, California, USA, until 1969. It had a height of 227 feet and was 309 feet in circumference.
The giant sequoia is estimated to have been 2,300 years old. It is now known as the Fallen Tunnel Tree. This 227-foot-tall Coast Redwood was named Wawana after the Native Americans’ decision to name it after the hoot of an owl.
