@@oldgold5848 The oldest trees are in the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest in a protected area high in the White Mountains in Inyo County in eastern California. Some are about 5000 years old. They’re about 50 miles northeast of the largest trees by volume in the world in the Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. The two areas have completely different climates separated by a canyon.
This list has many flaws, the worst showing the Giant Redwood several places behind the Giant Sequoia. The coastal redwood is THE tallest tree on the planet at 379 ft (115.55m) much taller than 75m, while the Giant Sequoias are the most massive by volume of wood. Height and overall size are not the same.
Yep, and he has the measurements of many other trees messed up. That cactus for instance easily reaches 50ft with the largest recorded at 72ft. Should have also thrown in the largest palm tree species that can reach 200ft+.
Sequoia sempervirens IS the coastal redwood so that is correct, but the giant redwood (Sequoiadendron giganteum) has been recorded at 311 feet or 95 meters. But yes, there are errors in the video.
@@mroldnewbie we had a shag bark hickory tree in our front yard. The dude who cut it down (it was splitting into 2 and could of fallen on our kitchen) said it was at LEAST 80ft tall.
Faltou mostrar o titã amazônico angelim-vermelho (Dinizia excelsa), encontrado na divisa entre o Pará e o Amapá. Com pelo menos 500 anos de idade, a árvore tem 10 metros de circunferência e 90 metros e meio de altura, o equivalente a um prédio de 30 andares. A maior árvore da América Latina que está entre as top 4 maiores do mundo!!!
Вообще-то легкие это океанические водоросли, все наземные растения вместе вырабатывают лишь 20% кислорода. А так мысль здравая, сохраняя экологию на планете, мы сохраняем, в том числе и свое здоровье и будущее наших потомков.
Esse video foi feito por gringos, e eles esão totalmente cegos pelo preconceito racial, preferem colocar arvores da autralia e canadá no lugar das arvores brasileiras
According to Canadian plant biologist Dr Al Carder (1910-2014) in his seminal book Forest Giants of the World: Past and Present (1996), the tallest tree ever was an Australian eucalypt (Eucalyptus regnans, aka mountain ash) at Watts River, Victoria, as reported in 1872 by forester William Ferguson. Said to be 132.6 metres (435 feet), it could have stood in excess of 150 metres (500 feet) originally.
Hyperion is a coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) in California that is the world's tallest known living tree, measuring 115.92 m (380.3 ft). It's exact location is a secret.
Probably should be a few more Eucalypt species at the tall end. Unfortunately Australian loggers were way too chop happy, the tallest of the tall were targeted with bounties and competitions to find them a century ago, and Australia did not have much high rainfall territory to start with conducive to sustaining big trees. Certainly many verified and trustworthy measurements of over 100m. USA did a better job of preserving their Red Woods
@@russe19642 The list missed a lot of tall species, the Nth American Douglas Fir is not far off 100m too. Karri's can lay claim to being the "longest" tree, their root systems have been found in caves 50m underground, add that to +80 meters of tree and they ae 130m long.
You are 100% incorrect idk who’s doing the measurements in India but they should know very well the tallest and oldest trees on earth is in North America the Hyperion, and the General Sherman Tree!
Could have had New Zealand Kauri perhaps. The largest one, Tane Mahuta (it has been named) is not the tallest tree, but does have an enormously thick trunk (14 metre girth - 46 feet) 50 metres high unfortunately they take forever to grow to that size, and it is estimated that Tane Mahuta is about 1500 years old, and still growing.
Back in the 1800's there were quite a few Eucalptus Regnans and a Eucalyptus. amygdalia in excess of 140 m high. Imagine that! I'm sure in the past there have been trees in Canada and the US of similar height as well.
Still are trees in excess of 140 m in Canada, old growth coastal Douglas Firs and Western Red Cedars on the coast of British Columbia. Both species have diameters in excess of 5 metres at the base when they get that old. The Coastal Douglas Fir is the largest of the Douglas Fir family. Then there is the Jack Pine ( my nickname for them being lodge pole pine ) that while do not get the diameter are actually taller and have 1 major benefit for lumber, knot free for the majority of their height. The issue with the Jack pine is it takes a fire to crack the pine cone to release the seed.
I wouldn't trust 1800 height records that much. I think you could probably do a statistical analysis on existing undisturbed stands of Eucalyptus Regnans vs Coastal Redwoods and infer based on the height distribution what the credible tallest height of each would likely have been of a given population size (my money is on the Redwoods)
I have an apple tree, that's wider than the one you showed, that produces tart tasting, but very good cooking apples and my pear tree is three times the apple tree's height and produces two different pear varieties, depending on the weather that year. The top pears get eaten by parakeets.
@@user-hj4ig9hu8hyou can neglect, but it's a fact..the forest tree located at Sabah, Borneo island..while in Thailand, it's Kapong tree only 64m tall..
Also they forgot the arctic willow, and added plants that aren't even trees! I mean the palm isn't either but it's closer than a cactus! Oh and bald cypress actually get 36 meters tall as well
Tropical trees usually aren't as tall as those found in temperate forests due to high evo-transpiration rates in the tropics plus poorer soils, their trunks are also thinner to loose heat compared with conifers or beech.
The tallest trees in Europe: Lindulovsky forest (St. Petersburg, Russia). Larch forest: the average height of the trees is 38-42 meters, individual trees reach a height of 50-52 meters. In addition to larch, siberian cedar, common pine, spruce, fir, ash, alder, oak, elm grow in the forest. A trip from St. Petersburg to the Lindulovsky forest. /watch?v=zPX5Q2haFnM

The largest trees of Europe are comfortably Douglas firs, reaching 60m+ (Germany, France, Austria) at an age of merely 150 years.
@Hochtl Siberian Larch trees have been growing in the Lindulovska grove since 1738, an average of 38-42 meters, there are trees over 51 meters, Douglas Firs trees have been growing in the European Parks since 1827, but most of the trees are 60 years old, the age of the trees in the Lindulovska grove is 300 years old. Siberian Larch is a Eurasian Tree from the territory of Russia, Douglas fir was introduced from North America - it is an American Tree...
Faltaron muchos arboles gigantes que están en varios paises. por ejemplo el alerce y la araucaria (árbol del mesozoico) que se encuentra en Chile y Argentina

There’s a lot of mistakes in this one. The “giant redwood” is actually the giant sequoia. The tallest one listed is the coast redwood. Some eucalyptus trees in Australia were even taller before pencil-dicked loggers killed them all. Some of the examples of small trees are babies. Rubber trees and Japanese maples get much taller than humans. White oaks get over 100 feet (30+ meters) high! They’re huge, stately trees.
Pretty much all the measurements are wrong except the largest tree. Some are laughably wrong like sugar pine, which is the tallest pine and it is in reality a giant tree that has several specimens over 80 m, but in this video has it at 25.5 m, which would be abnormally short for a mature sugar pine. .
@@Wirmish Your comment was surprising and interesting, so I looked it up. When the CO2 level was 5 times the modern level, 2000 ppm, in the "Devonian" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devonian) era, fishes and Trilobites (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trilobite#/media/File:Trilobita_Diversity.png) ruled the world ocean, and the swampy landmass of Gondwanaland was being conquered by weird plants and giant bugs. Also the Sun was much younger and cooler then, 400 million years ago, otherwise the sea level would surely have been higher. Sounds like you feel nostalgic to live in such a world?
@@fritsdaalmans5589 There were later warm and higher Co2 periods. The Eocene was one such time and contained species very similar to present. Its was our current world only hotter. Everyone didn't die, quite the opposite in fact. 😎🌻🌴
The Giant Sequoia is the largest tree by volume but this model makes it look tiny next to last two trees. Shorea Faguentiana is a tall skinny tree with short branches. Coastal redwood should not be too wide either if we are talking of the tallest.
There are tulip poplar trees behind us along the fenceline. Every bit of 60 plus feet. I have one in my yard I planted a few years ago. From a 3 foot stick to 20 some feet in less than 6 years.
Na verdade a quarta maior árvore do mundo está no Brasil. Angelim vermelho é o nome da espécie. Fica na reserva ambiental "Flota", no norte do estado do Pará. Possui 90 metros de altura e aproximadamente 600 anos de vida.
sorry I think the admin wrongly put the fact.. it's in Malaysia actually, the neighbour country of Thailand.. more specific, the forest tree located at Sabah, Borneo island..
no, General Sherman (giant sequoia) is the most massive (~2000 tons), unless you consider clonal organisms to be a single living thing, in which case it might be Pando (a quaking aspen in Utah; ~6000 tons). The tallest tree's mass is only something like 700 or 800 tons
The Hyperion is the world's tallest tree, a coastal redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) located in Redwood National Park in California. However, the tree's true location is unknown and hidden in Humboldt Redwoods State Park. There is a fine of up to $5,000 and jail time if you're found searching for it.
You included the first and third tallest species, but the second tallest is Cupressus torulosa (the Himalayan cypress) with one specimen last reported at 102.3 m.
There are so many Giant Redwoods above 75 meters (246 feet) it's silly to list this as their height. Probably better to put them tied with Sequoia, and also there are numerous Sitka Spruce and other hardwood trees in the Pacific Northwest that exceed 300 feet. Where are they on this list?
You missed the Ponderosa Pine and the Sitka Spruce. The tallest Ponderosa Pine is in Oregon and is 268 feet tall, or 81.6 meters. The tallest Sitka Spruce is 329 feet or just over 100 meters. The tallest giant Redwood is actually 311 feet or 95 meters.
I don't know about all the other trees but I definitely know that wasn't an accurate representation of a white oak, I live in Georgia and they get massive I've spent many hours chopping them up.
inaccurate reppresentation, the "giant redwood" aka sequiadendron giganteum is know to grow well over 90 meters, also you forgot the douglas fir tree wich is likely the tallest tree reaching height of over 100 meters right after the coastal redwood aka sequoia sempervirens that is known to exceed the 120 meters mark and not 116 as stated, i appreciate the effort you put into this but please do some more research next time
It's extremely insulting! In florida around where I live, like within the state even, the oaks are up there as one of the 4 massive trees you'll see, the others being the pines, the sycamore, and the bald cypress. Many oaks can get well over 50 feet, and have a crown as big or larger than that! Having it put so low is just dissapointing, as anyone who's ever seen a SINGLE oak that's not in a parking lot, would know they arent tiny!
