Local nameGeneral Lee Tree
LocationTulare County, California

Richard Field, a Confederate lieutenant, named this tree in honor of Robert E. Lee around 1875. In 2020, Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks removed references to the name in Park materials, in an effort to promote inclusiveness following the George Floyd protests, however the name cannot be changed without the approval of Congress or the National Park Service.
