Kennedy Grove is located in the Giant Sequoia National Monument (Sequoia National Forest) in the Sierra Nevada in eastern California, and part of a group of 8 closely grouped, but narrowly separated Giant Sequoia groves situated in either GSNM or Kings Canyon National Park. Kennedy Grove contains the thirteenth largest tree in the world, the Ishi Giant. This tree was only discovered in the 1990s, proving that there may still be some supergiants out there not yet discovered.
Noteworthy Trees
Some of the trees found in the grove that are worthy of special note are:
- Ishi Giant: This huge tree has very few visitors; it is very tricky to find because it is not very well known. The tree looks very old and has burn scars all round the base. This tree is the thirteenth largest in existence and contains 38,156 cubic feet (1,080.5 m3) of wood.
- Evans Tree: This tree is actually in a grove called Evans Grove, but the groves are closely separated so sometimes are referred to as one big grove. It was measured in 1981 and had a volume of 30,232 cubic feet (856.1 m3).
