what is the tallest tree in the world?

Answer 1

the cyprus with an area of 9,250 sq km

Answer 2

Here, along the banks of Redwood Creek, are the world's tallest known trees. The tallest is 368 feet (112.3m) and several of its neighbors are not far behind. Imagine a tree as tall as a 30-story office building, or much longer than a football field. That is what you see in this picture, but without some means of comparison, their height does not seem that great. There has been some controversy about what tree actually holds the record. Not long after the Redwood Creek grove was discovered someone else claimed to have found an even taller one, but its accurate measurement showed it to be "only" 70 m high. Loggers is Washington state and British Columbia claimed to have felled trees of Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga taxifolia) over 400 feet long. The Australians have long claimed that a gum tree ( which grows in a similar environment to the coastal redwood), Eucalyptus regnant, is the tallest tree. However the tallest accurately measured eucalyptus tree (346 feet) falls short of the coast redwood by 7 meters (22 feet).

Answer 3

Tallest Living Tree
The world's tallest living tree is the Stratosphere Giant measuring 112.7 m (370 ft) as of July 2004. This coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) was discovered by Chris Atkins (USA) in August 2000 in the Rockefeller Forest of the Humboldt Redwoods State Park, California, USA.

The precise location of the giant tree is always kept secret by the Park Rangers in case enthusiastic tree fans accidentally damage its fragile environment. The second tallest tree living, known as The Federation Giant, measures 112 m (368 ft) and also lives at the Humboldt Redwoods State Park.

Answer 5

G'day mate. When i was studying forestry (longer ago than I care to remember) it was suggested to us the the tallest flowering plant in the world was Eucalyptus regnans (mountain ash).
I would presume that the tallest tree will be either a Sequoia giganteum or a Eucalyptus regnans. Where ever it is, lets hope it's not accidentally cut down for firewood.

Answer 6

"The tallest living tree today is the Mendocino Tree, a coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) found at Montgomery State Reserve near Ukiah, California, USA. In September 1998, it was 172 m (367.5 ft) tall, with a diameter of 3.14 m (10 ft)."
