A giant Sequoia tree in Northern Michigan? There is a thriving, giant sequoia tree located in the far north, in an area that can best be described as a frozen tundra during the winter.


At its last measurement in 2016, the tree was measured at more than 100 feet tall, said David Milarch, co-founder of the Archangel Ancient Tree Archive, based in Copemish, Michigan, roughly 40 minutes northeast of Manistee.

The tree is perched on a cliff along Lake Michigan at the Lake Bluff Bird Sanctuary, which is owned by Michigan Audubon, and is actually one of three sequoias there. The other two are simply smaller, and just don’t receive the same attention.

“They are still pretty magnificent -- just not as big,” said Gloria Savory, the secretary at the Lake Bluff Bird Sanctuary.

The main tree is 72 years old. It was planted in 1949 by Gertrude and Edward Gray.

The Grays went to Northern California and brought back six sequoia seedlings to Michigan, but only three survived. Still, the fact that three did survive and one has grown as big as it has, is a marvel of nature.

The trees have been able to not only survive, but take off because of their proximity to Lake Michigan, which provides natural insulation that keeps the trees warm during the winter and cooler during the summer.

Their mere presence is a game-changer when it comes to the existence of sequoias on the planet.

In 2009, Libby visited the biggest of the Michigan sequoias with Milarch, who said Libby didn’t hold back when talking about the tree’s importance.

“He said this might be one of the more important sequoias on Earth, because if it can handle this kind of cold and be this far north, they could be cloned around the world,” Milarch said.

There are sequoia trees around the world, but they are most common in Northern California due to climate and their proximity to the Sierra Nevada mountains, which produce a dry heat that allows the trees’ cones to open and release seeds.



But while General Sherman might the largest sequoia in sheer size, the one in Michigan is likely the biggest in terms of importance for what it could do for the growth of sequoias around the world.

It's possible the Long Island Pine Barrens started out in a similar fashion, but the growth was more successful.
