The Genesis Tree is 24.5 feet in diameter at the ground, 21.9 feet diameter at chest height, and 214 feet tall. It was discovered by Wendell Flint and Mike Law in 1985, very late in the game of finding and measuring the largest sequoias. It was the largest tree in Mountain Home Grove at the time, and the tree had formerly been listed as the 7th largest tree overall. It was severely damaged in the Castle Fire of 2020, losing much of its top and many branches, falling approximately 5k in overall volume.
