Boole Tree

Before 1931, it was thought to be the largest tree in the world, but it's now known as the largest tree within the U.S. Forest Service. It is located in the Converse Basin grove in Sequoia National Forest, on the edge of Kings Canyon, 5 miles (8 km) from Grant Grove in Kings Canyon National Park in the Sierra Nevada in eastern California. Converse Basin was once a large grove, but was logged of most of its giant sequoias between 1892 and 1918. Now only perhaps 60 large specimens survive out of thousands. This grove is the largest contiguous grove in the world.
