Mother of the Forest : ウィキペディア英語版 | Mother of the Forest
The Mother of the Forest (667 BCE – 1854 CE) was an ancient and huge ''Sequoiadendron'' tree. The tree lived in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in eastern central California, United States. The dead tree's remains are within the Calaveras Grove of Big Trees State Park, in Calaveras County, California. ==History==
The tree was said to stretch into the air, with a girth of at ground level. It was the largest of 92 giant sequoias growing in the valley in 1852 when a man named George Gale discovered the massive tree. In 1854 he had the bark stripped from the trunk.〔 Gale named the massive tree the "Mother of the Forest" before he sent men to strip the tree of its bark. Once the bark was removed, the tree did not survive for long. In 1908, a fire that swept through the area burned away much of what was left of the tree. The massive tree had thick bark, thick in some spots, which Gale had stripped. Gale toured with the bark, showing it off to crowds.
