In 1955, the tree's circumference at breast height, when measured 4.5 feet (1.4 m) from the ground, was 24 feet 8 inches (7.52 m). [12] At a tree fork 45 feet (14 m) from the ground, its trunk measured 4.33 feet (1.32 m) in diameter.

The Lituya Bay megatsunami caused damage at higher elevations than any other tsunami, being powerful enough to push water up the tree covered slopes of the fjord with enough force to clear trees to a reported height of 524 m (1,719 ft). [9] A 1:675 recreation of the tsunami found the wave crest was 150 m (490 ft) tall. [14]
