Virginia State of the United States of America

Virginia, officially the Commonwealth of Virginia, is a state in the Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States located between the Atlantic Coast and the Appalachian Mountains. Virginia is nicknamed the "Old Dominion" due to its status as the first English colonial possession established in mainland North America and "Mother of Presidents" because eight U.S. presidents were born there, more than any other state. The geography and climate of the Commonwealth are shaped by the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Chesapeake Bay, which provide habitat for much of its flora and fauna. The capital of the Commonwealth is Richmond; Virginia Beach is the most populous city, and Fairfax County is the most populous political subdivision. The Commonwealth's estimated population as of 2018 is over 8.5 million.

The Lindsey Creek French Tree is the largest single-stem organism (tree) thus far known to have existed historically. It was a coast redwood, a member of the species Sequoia sempervirens. It grew in Fieldbrook, California, along the Lindsey Creek, which feeds into the Mad River. When it was uprooted and felled by a storm in 1905, its mass was at least 3,630 short tons, 3.3 million kilograms, or 7.26 million pounds; and its trunk volume was at least 2,550 cubic meters. In terms of volume, this would make it close to twice the size of the largest living single-stem tree, the giant sequoia known as General Sherman.
