The General Sherman Sequioa (genus Sequioadendron) is still more massive than the Del Norte Titan (genus Sequioa). But maybe the Del Norte Titan weighs more. It would probably require a wood weight chart to know which tree weighs the most per cubic foot or cubic meter. Either tree is enormous. The article caught my eye, because I often hike in the redwood forest. Regarding the 2nd paragraph, it might be interesting to know which tree is really heavier.
