On the Big Kahuna or Discovery pages, I mentioned this page as a "place holder" to represent undisclosed discoveries of 2014 - 2019. The Emissary plugs the imaginary information gap for any #1 coast redwoods that may have more points, volume, height or girth than anything ever revealed in photos or articles. Previously I used the Dark Horse for this visual but moved it to Awesome & Big. Because additional largest and widest redwoods have not been published, the ranking of #1 becomes more obscure as every month and year passes. Therefore it makes sense to leave the top position generic and leave the aggregate of discoveries up to reader's own imaginations.
The redwood below definitely has a name but it's more interesting to keep this ninja redwood a secret and just let the photo speak louder than words. It's doubtful readers will miss the man wearing a red cap shown for a sense of size and scale. This is in the same park where I spotted Navi. The thick under growth shows a big difference from the tourist redwoods.
This ancient coast redwood is close to 42 ft. from left side to right side at the base. It grows in Redwood National and State Parks near Orick. I can add that this is not the diameter champion, Captain Jack Sparrow. Over the years, I've only emailed something the magnitude that the Emmisary represents. Like in 2018, I emailed someone I trust so they could be a point of reference outside my own circle, to affirm something insanely gargantuan exists in the redwoods beyond anything I posted before. I emailed a photo or two on the condition they could review for 48 hours, then delete the files.
