The King Arthur is the ninth largest giant sequoia in the world. Its base of up to about 50 feet (15 m) rivals the General Sherman, the largest giant sequoia, for total mass.

Albino redwood Albino redwood An 'albino' redwood is a redwood tree which is unable to produce chlorophyll, and so has white needles instead of the normal green. It survives by obtaining sugar through the connections between its roots and those of neighboring normal redwood(s), usually the parent tree from whose base it has sprouted. (Sap exchange through roots is a general phenomenon among redwoods.) About 400 are known. They can be found in both Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park and Humboldt Redwoods State Park, with eleven trees in the first. However, the exact locations are not publicized to protect the rare trees.
