The Fieldbrook Giant was one of the largest coastal redwoods to ever exist. Estimated at more than 360 feet tall and 32 feet across, it stood sentry over Humboldt County for more than 1,000 years before being felled in 1896 in what was described as a drunken bet. Now it's coming back. Using tissues collected from sprouts on the trunk, scientists have planted cloned saplings in San Francisco, Humboldt County, and Britain as part of an effort to recover the world's most impressive trees.
