A little more perspective
This entry selects the feet value from the National Park Service's February 2021 wayside description. Its parenthetical 88.7-meter figure does not convert correctly from 268.1 feet. The stored value uses the exact international-foot conversion, 0.3048 meters per foot, without treating that arithmetic as extra survey precision.
The individual is the General Grant giant sequoia in Grant Grove. Height runs from the tree's base to its crown. The public description does not supply a measurement date; February 2021 is the profile date. Its very broad trunk and irregular high branches distinguish it from a slender coast redwood.
