A ceremony to pay tribute to Visalia’s beloved Sequoia Legacy Tree will be held February 20 at 4:00 pm. Hosted by Visit Visalia, the event will acknowledge and celebrate the history of the tree that has long stood as a symbol of friendship and connection with the nearby Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks. The tree is located on the west side of the downtown Visalia post office, and was planted in 1936 as a three-year old sapling. It recently succumbed to a fungus despite efforts to save the tree.
