Thanks for your input! Let us know more about what's wrong in the form below.
How long is 210 spans?
It's about three-fifths as tall as a Giant Sequoia (tree)
The height of a Giant Sequoia (tree) is about 330 spans.
(a.k.a. Sequoiadendron giganteum, a.k.a. Sierra redwood, a.k.a. Wellingtonia)
Giant Sequoias of the Giant Sequoia National Monument located in Sierra Nevada, near Visalia, California can grow to heights of 330 spans. The wood from the Giant Sequoias is often brittle and prone to shattering when such trees are felled, and as a result the trees logged in the late nineteenth century were often usable only as shingles or matchsticks.
