HOUSTON – Deep in the woods of the Sequoia National Forest in central California, there is a tree named the General Grant Tree.
Sequoia trees are among the tallest and oldest in the nation. The General Grant stands tall among the tallest. It even has a nickname, “the nation’s Christmas tree”. It is in a grove of giant sequoias that are staggering to look at, a collection of national treasures in the shadow of Mount Whitney, the tallest peak in the lower 48.
It seems only proper that the Department of the Interior should look for another giant sequoia and name it the Bill Belichick Tree.
