Sequoiadendron giganteum is a huge and impressive species.  On the West Coast, plants of the species can be large enough to drive or walk through.  On the East Coast these trees are still impressive, although they do not get quite so large.

At NYBG, the two plants we have of the Sequoiadendron giganteum species are not very old.  There is one along our Mitsubishi Wetland Trail planted in 1965 and a 'Glaucum' (Blue Giant) cultivar in our Beneson Conifer collection, planted in 2002.  A map with both of these trees can be found on NYBG's Plant Tracker:
