Great sequoia tree, it is certainly not 2,000 years old. That is how old the oldest sequoia trees can get.

Planted in 1950 and now over 20 meters high.

The sequoia trees (Sequoioideae) are a subfamily of the plant family of the cypress family (Cupressaceae). This subfamily currently includes only three monotypical genera, that is, they each consist of one living species. However, numerous other fossil species have come down to us.
The giant sequoia trees Sequoiadendron giganteum of the genus Sequoiadendron are pyrophytes; their thick, fibrous bark protects them from forest fires, which can often occur in the dry forests of the Sierra Nevada mountains of the western United States.
Since the middle of the 19th century, these trees have also been planted as (rare) park trees in Central Europe, mostly in spacious English landscaped gardens.

I always find these trees amazing in terms of size and girth.
