Q: How big can a plant be?
State: New York
Habitat: suburban/yard
A: Each species (kind) of plant has an average size but there are always some individuals that are larger and some that are smaller than that average. The largest plant that I know about is the Giant Sequoia that grow in California - these trees grow to 300 or 330 feet in height. In the East, trees that grow to about 100 feet are considered tall but there are some that reach greater heights. The American Sycamore may achieve 150 feet, Tulip Trees may reach 175 feet, and the American Elm may reach 125 feet. Thanks for your question.
