Pinus ponderosa

This majestic pine is the biggest of its species ever recorded. It was a giant before the Oregon Territory was established, enduring centuries of fire, insects, disease, and human impact.

Recently half of its crown was lost to weather, making another Ponderosa pine taller, but "Big Tree" remains the largest in circumference.



Circumference 28 feet, 11 inches
Height 162 feet
Approximate Age 500 years
