The Lincoln Tree is a huge giant sequoia located in Giant Forest in Sequoia National Park. It is currently considered by many to be the fourth largest tree in the world.
Description
The Lincoln Tree features an irregular base with prominent burn scars on its northern, southern, and western faces. A small white burl can be seen on its northeastern face. The top of the tree appears bleached with many large branches pointing outward.
Dimensions
Wendell Flint stated that the Lincoln Tree has a volume of Script error: No such module "convert"..[1] However, White and Pusateri indicated that the volume of the Lincoln Tree based on measurements made in the 1930s is Script error: No such module "convert"., which would make the Lincoln Tree the second largest tree in the world, after the General Sherman Tree.[2] Wendell Flint was somewhat critical of the earlier measurements and he stated that he thought that it was appropriate to exclude a portion of the irregular base of the tree from his volume calculations, which in addition to some extrapolation differences from the earlier measurements, explains the smaller volume of Script error: No such module "convert". that he obtained compared to the earlier figure.[1] Although he chose to exclude it, Flint stated that the excluded portion of the base could just as easily be included in the calculations, presumably leading to the alternative volume of Script error: No such module "convert".[3] The Lincoln Tree has a maximum base diameter of 36.4 feet.[1]
