    Other researchers have developed models of maximum height for Coast Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii) trees that yield similar estimates of 109–138 meters (357–452 feet), [46] a range that includes the height of the tallest reliably-measured historical (dead) specimen, a 126-meter tree.

    The tall bay laurel (Umbellularia californica) at 169.4 feet discovered by Zane Moore [36] in Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park is an example of an exceptionally tall understory tree growing among other taller species.

    One of the largest tree-cacti at up to 18 m (59 ft) in height, 10 m (33 ft) crown spread and up to 102 cm (40 in) trunk thickness. [157] It can bear spines up to 19 cm ( 7 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) long. [ citation needed ] By reason of its succulence , these may be the most massive (heaviest) of all tree flowers.

  6. List of largest giant sequoias - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_giant_sequoias

    The largest giant sequoias are as tall as a 26-story building, and the width of their bases can exceed that of a city street. They grow at such a rate as to produce roughly 1.1 cubic meters (40 cu ft) of wood each year, approximately equal to the volume of a 50-foot-tall tree one foot in diameter. [7]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperion_(tree)

    Hyperion is a coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) in California that is the world's tallest known living tree, measured at 116.07 metres (380.8 ft) tall in 2019. [2] [4] Hyperion was discovered on August 25, 2006, by naturalists Chris Atkins and Michael Taylor. [5]

    Trees are also typically defined by height, [4] with smaller plants from 0.5 to 10 m (1.6 to 32.8 ft) being called shrubs, [5] so the minimum height of a tree is only loosely defined. [4] Large herbaceous plants such as papaya and bananas are trees in this broad sense. [2] [6]

  9. General Sherman (tree) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Sherman_(tree)

    The Lindsay Creek Tree, with more than 90,000 cubic feet (2,500 cubic meters) [13] almost twice the volume of General Sherman, was reported felled by a storm in 1905. [ 14 ] [ 15 ] Another larger tree, the Crannell Creek Giant, a coast redwood ( Sequoia sempervirens ) cut down in the mid-1940s near Trinidad, California , is estimated to have ...
