Diamond (tree)


Diamond is a giant sequoia located within the Atwell Mill Grove of Sequoia National Park, California. Naturalists Dennis Coggins, Wendell D. Flint, and Michael M. Law named the tree "Diamond" after the large diamond-shaped scar present on the southeast side of the trunk. It is the largest tree in Atwell Mill Grove, the 20th largest giant sequoia in the world, and could be considered the 19th largest depending on how badly Ishi Giant atrophied during the Rough Fire in 2015.
Diamond is located northwest of Mineral King Road and southwest of AD, requiring a fair bit of uphill cross-country hiking to reach either tree.
