Giant trees, awesome thread topic!

The Redwood National Park has most of the Giant Sequoia trees in America.

Have you ever wondered how many religions have a tree? Many times one that is a giant tree?

That's a great question. The beauty of Yggdrasil immediately springs to mind (not to mention the sacred trees from Ewoks cartoons, with which I'm sure we're all familiar, right guys?) , but there are many more religions in the ancient world which have a giant tree.
I'll come back to this subject later, but in case it's of any interest in the meantime, I remember reading some really interesting stuff by Manley Palmer Hall (I might've misspelled that) about this if I remember rightly, and also Jordan Maxwell (the "it's not the jews, it's the Vatican" guy). There are very uncanny parallels in ancient astrotheological lore and traditions across many cultures, about many things, but a giant tree often being one of them...

Has anyone ever wondered what the size of fruit would be if a giant tree like the mythical giant trees produced fruit?

I haven't seen the video. I've been skipping around. Is General Sherman on there? I am considering whether to see that this year. I was told it was the largest living thing on earth.

My wife maybe getting some land usage rights on Borneo, but it looks a little far from a monster tree I saw on the video.

I looked up "Fruit of Yggdrasil" and found some interesting volkisch stuff you theoretically might find interesting too, but this was the only pic I found, heheh (guess it's from one of those collectible card games like Magic the Gathering that got started when I was something like a 7th-8th grader ):

Yes, I think it's interesting.
