This tall evergreen stands on guard at the city’s retail epicenter, which is also where holiday lights are strung and the winter season is celebrated. While the sequoia is grand at its current height of 80 feet, it once reached to 100 feet tall before a significant storm damaged its top.
The old tree found itself in the limelight in 2016, thanks to the #ManInTree, who, dressed in khakis, a checkered hoodie, and red beanie hat, climbed to the top of the tree and began throwing things at passersby. City officials eventually convinced the man to climb down.
