How many matches could you make from the world's largest living tree?

The world's largest living tree, a giant sequoia named General Sherman, is estimated to be around 2,200 years old and measures approximately 275 feet tall. Given that a typical matchstick is about 2 inches long, we can estimate that the wood volume of General Sherman could produce millions of matchsticks. However, specific calculations depend on the tree's overall volume and the dimensions of individual matchsticks. In general, it is safe to say that the number of matches could easily reach into the millions.
