- 17 BIGGEST Trees in the World
This Atlas Cedar in the Foret de Cedar in Northern Morocco is one of the tallest Trees in Africa. The tree has an estimated girth of 3.5 feet and is estimated to be more than 131 feet tall! This tree was planted around 1200-1400 A.D. which makes it at around 7 centuries old.
The Queets River Spruce in Washington state was the largest Spruce Tree in the world. The Queets Spruce has a circumference of 60 feet and is 191 feet tall. It attracted nature enthusiasts and tourists from around the country, but unfortunately fell when a harsh winter storm hit the area in 2007.
This tree is the largest known western redcedar in the entire world. It has a volume of over 18,000 cubic feet and a height of 180 feet when it was last measured. This tree makes its home about 21 miles from the pacific ocean near Quinalt Lake and took the title for tallest tree in the area after the Queets Lake Spruce was felled in a storm.
These odd trees that decorate the plains of Africa are known for their many strange characteristics. The tops of their branches make them look like their roots sprout into the air instead of into the ground, they’re known to be fire resistant and it can last through even the most severe droughts. The Baobabs aren’t just incredibly fascinating alien-like plantlife, they’re also incredibly large, regularly reaching towering 100 foot heights and massive 30 foot diameters.
Near a tiny village hidden in the mountains of central Colombia, the Cocora Valley acts as the residence for the world’s tallest palm trees which also have been recognized as Colombia’s national tree. The Palms in this valley grow more than 200 feet tall, which is strange even to many experts as there is no evolutionary benefit for a tree in an open field to grow so high.
The Tane Mahuta is a giant kauri tree (Agathis australis) in the Waipoua Forest of New Zealand. Tane Mahuta is 58 feet high but has a total volume of 18,250 cubic feet, making it the 4th largest trees when measured by volume in the world. Experts estimate this tree to be between 1,250 and 2,500 years old, so not only is it one of the largest trees, it is also one of the oldest. Tane Mahuta translates to “Lord of the Forest” when translated from Maori, which is more than an appropriate name considering the Tane Mahuta’s size and age. - บันเทิง
For several years, I lived within walking distance from a Redwood tree that's 18 feet in diameter, and was originally over 350 feet tall. The 1906 SF earthquake didn't damage it, but a windstorm shortly afterward took out the top 60 feet. Then the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake took out another chunk, a scaffold branch that is over 7 feet in diameter. It fell onto a small portion of a nearby home, causing minor damage to the roof. The homeowner told me that the crashing sound was even louder & more jolting than the earthquake!
The main reason for Redwood trees' longevity is that they're virtually fireproof. After the last huge fire in the Santa Cruz Mountains, most of the Redwoods there were still standing, and the branches that were burned-off got replaced by sprouts of new branches; their magic is unstoppable!
There is this big live oak tree in Graceville, Florida. Back around 1970 or 1971, the former owner of the property and I wanted to try to measure how big around the tree was then. So we spread our arms out measured it that way. It was five arm spans around. My arm span is around five feet, and hers was about the same, or slightly longer since she was a little taller than me. So the tree was at least twenty-five feet around in the early 1970's. That's a pretty big tree.
Most of these big tree's I like to call home. Simply beautiful.
the giant palm trees in Colombia were not always in a open field they used to be surrounded by rainforests, I guess when the other trees were cleared they went into over drive in growth
And the bastards love to cut cut, chop chop these magnificent Titans of the old world.
could you repeat the dimensions In board feet.
actually I would hate to see these really old trees disappear, but I do believe, the forestry industry has learned from the mistakes of the past and are learning sustainable harvesting practices.
I'll chop any tree if the price is right
***** I sense that go in this instance is just a figure of speech?
fuck yeah! EARTH FIRST!!...we'll log the other planets later..bitches..!
***** sit on it! I mean your new chair?
It's impressive how the narrator manages to mispronounce *every* word for tree species, name, or location that isn't related to the US. That takes a dedicated & professional level of ineptitude.

iatsd they atleast got a video out.. you are just garbage
cannotthinkofoneatth Always easy to spot the Americans...
iatsd i completly agree with you
Sorry for your sensitivity
All I can think of watching this is the scene in Avatar when the lieutenant see's Hometree for the first time and says "That is one big damn tree"
I remember looking at the big redwoods out west when I was there in 1983. I was 21 and I will never forget those trees. Unbelievable
lmao I died when he attempted to say "tane mahuta" "kauri tree" and "maori"
if that first tree blooms upto 1800 blossoms and becmes up to 3.5 tons heavier then each blossom weighs about 2kg each! that is a huge blossom
Yeah I think they must have those facts wrong; the blossoms look small on google images
Is it still "CONGRESS-TART" or something else mate?
Those arn't metric tons. Probably. They have all sorts of different ton weights. Long tons, short ton, imperial ton, our ton. I bet they have to even google how many pints there are in a ton. even then it gets a bit difficult for them.
Majority of the weight is the extra water the tree must take in to feed the blum
And that is also a whole lot of BS
Truly Awesome sharing of the last of the big ones ! 5 thumbs up Video :-)
Fascinating! Thank you!
some truly amazing facts there,
think I am being recommended vids
faithfreedom.org/challenge.htm
yep!
Actually, horticulturally speaking most of his information was wrong, mispronounced, and very uninformative. He just describes what he is seeing, does nothing to shed light on the truly amazing things happening with these trees.
This dude said GENIUS instead of GENUS, yeah I'm out
🤣 🤣
He butchered almost every name, culture and language mentioned.
now that was so cool...
WOW!!!!! IMAGINE CLIMMING THESE TREES!!!!!!
Way too many of these images show only the base of the trunk . I want to see a shot showing the top of the tree, not the base of the trunk.

Dave Laisure no kidding. 14 the tallest tree in the area and they show 15 ft of the trunk..
People are short
@@chrisdenice1821 Thanks for the link.
Well you know some men are top men and some men are trunk men.
"as tall as 40 men stacked up on top of each other" why? what is that measurement supposed to be?
At least he didn't compare it to a football field
i have no idea. some kind of counter strike easter egg ?
@@rilluma lol
5.5 feet
yeah dumb because what if they were like from Philippines they would be shorts as opposed people from Netherlands which would be tall
love all trees and them blowing in the wind so good
These trees are so incredible I feel that a national effort to care for them is in order.
This friends is how a video should be made! No fake voice, no dragging out a story just to be disappointed, nice short clips and good information!
Could learn to say the native languages properly, the New Zealand one was terrible 🙄
Dam! And I thought the tree we climbed was tall! 🌲
The last one looks like a magical tree some sort like a world tree.
Dont know how I ended up here. But I now know the legend of the tallest trees.
Wow, a 380-foot tree. It's hard to imagine.
That is 3.8 centipedes.
That last pic was not Hyperion. I have seen it myself
Tree at 6:58 is a Giant Sequoia in the Sierra Nevada. Still liked the video. No videos from the haters. Busy hatin and not creatin.
hello
Yeah and that river in the background will make it easy to find...
Amazing trees

Here in the Philippines, we have Balete Tree age in 17 century and a large tree tho.
Thanks for your wonderful information
amazing trees save tree save life
"No evolutionary benefit to a tree growing 200 feet high" uhhh... Maybe they know something we don't?? Maybe they remember the dinosaurs that used to eat them. Who knows.
Brian how is evolution ridiculous there is more proof of evolution than gravity
eggrollsoupnova2000 then why is it a theory and not a fact.
I'm an atheist until I see proof of life beyond death(ghost) or a god
sure there maybe a guy up in the sky looking down on all of us like the almighty being that he is but what use is here arguing about whether he exist or not ?
If he does then okay I guess but if he doesnt then what does that changes ? We are still us if there happens to be a god up there then let do our best to amuse him, make it interesting but if he doesnt exist then we should forcus more on our life.
Long story short God existing or not doesnt matter. All that matter is what we accomplish as god/evolution's creation.
If you're still defending yourself against an enemy that became extinct 66 milliion years ago, you're doing evolution wrong.
Pease sir, during this quarantine take some time to learn the metric system, please.
this came out in 2016 i-
It's a birth right of all Americans to use wacky units such as football fields and people stacked on top of each other

@@alexmay7250 kkkkkkk omg. Super wacky.
OP, use this quarantine to educate yourself on this fake scamdemic and prepare yourself for the engineered global economic crash.
It's amazing how many smart guys don't understand that government paying egg double whole nobody working = no money
in the santa cruz mountains by big basin state park, there are rotten stumps of redwood trees that are almost 100 ft in diameter.they now have little redwood trees growing from its base creating a cathedral of trees, really amazing to see. a lot of hidden giants here
Wowwwwww wonderful beautiful
Like the info. But the narrator was mis-pronouncing almost every native tree, location, word, ad language.
In Australia there were trees taller than 125 meters but in the 1800s they were all logged.
Ben Piercy In California, where I live, there were thousands of trees over 200m (660ft) the biggest was said to have been cut down in the early 1830's and was nearly 217m(710ft)when the tree was cut down, which was a year long task, it pulled down over 50 trees ranging from 100m to 150m.
They chopped them down for paper goods, railroad ties, telegraph poles and furniture, furniture because of its beautiful textures and grain.
This wood was not used for building materials, you would of thought they would had left the big ones alone since they took months/ years to cut down.
Anyone who says the Australian eucalypts we’re taller than redwoods is dumb as fuck
P&Wengineering I dont believe that for s second. No way there was a redwood over 130m
treeS?

Unbelievable trees amazing.
So good I love trees !
Unbelievable research 💓

Welcome to humans
Yeah, LOL
I am so glad that I visited the red wood Forest I think I seen some trees on this list
Wow and I thought the tree I filmed for largest tree in London Ontario... These are huge! How did you collect all of those trees ? You must have done a lot of research ! Thank you so much
did he say the the dragon tree belongs to the "draconian GENIUS"? lol that's awesome.
lmao
Dracena draco. The first C is cee-like and the C in draco is like a K. I'm growing a couple dozen young trees in Southern California. They are slow growing.
You missed the Great Banyan Tree (system) at Shibpur Botanical Gardens
I love trees and bushes and nature. Whooo Hoooo.
Muito bom esse video valeu , seu trabalho postando essas maravilhas da natureza !

@Kaneki Ken WHAT THE FUCK!?
When a documentary about trees states, in the first few words, that a tree belongs to a "genius", I kind-of switch off. Anybody who doesn't know the difference between genius and genus isn't qualified to talk about biology. I was tempted to abandon the diatribe there - but the trees looked interesting, so I persevered. He's the kind of guy who would say "boabab" instead of "baobab" - oh, hang on - he just did! And that Banyan tree - I'm not sure about this, but if you know a banyan when you see one, does this look like one to you?
He says "This giant sequoia is called the biggest living thing on Earth. While that title is debatable, it is undebatably the largest tree in the world" Did I miss something there? Is there a bigger living thing than the biggest tree? "This redwood is 377.13 ft tall". Why not just 377ft? Is it valid to measure the height of a huge tree to the nearest tenth of an inch? "It would tower above the Big Ben clock tower". Big Ben is thought of affectionately by Londoners, but it's a bit fatuous to use it as an international criterion of height. At the end of the clip, he says how "Experts say there were probably several trees even taller than" ... the tallest known tree, but they have been felled by loggers. How sad. In a visitor centre on Vancouver Island, they have a cross-section of a huge tree, showing the rings. The smallest ring is dated with the year when it started to grow (I can't remember, but it was a LONG time ago). Other rings are dated with events in history, like the Napoleonic wars, etc, to show the period it had lived through. The third last ring before the bark is labeled "Arrival of the white man". The third from last ring.
Oh and 3.5 feet in girth.... I think it was 3.5m in DIAMETER. These videos with supposedly fucking omniscient knowledge usually have some lippy cretin who cannot READ a damn voice over script, let alone have the faintest grasp of what the hell their desperate youtuber 'creative' has nicked and cobbled together from stills. faugh. BOLLOCKS mate!
And he needs to learn the metric system! this whole video is just gibberish
The narrator may not know it but there are mushrooms in Washington and Michigan (among other places?) that are quite large. Of course I am speaking of the underground portion and not the fruits that pop up. I have heard that these may be larger in volume that the giant trees.
I do agree though that this guy hammered many words, suggesting he did not know what he was saying at times.
..he's a script reader. and not one that would get work in Europe.
Per Gustafsson The video may be gibberish but not because it references Imperial units. Anyone that tries to pretend that they are smarter than the rest of us yet cannot perform simple unit conversions in their head is not really very smart. Or they may be mentally lazy. Now I am not talking about conversions accurate enough for an engineering project. Just enough to get an idea of how tall or large something is.
Three feet per yard; which is around 1 meter. So a tree that is 300 feet tall is around 100 meters tall. As for the volumetric conversion; Twenty seven cubic feet is approximately 1 cubic meter. But then most people do not have a good mental grasp of volumes anyway when the numerical value is large.
Great vid. thanks
Wow! ...a girth of 3.5 feet...massive!
When you realize some of these are taller that Godzilla 👀
opening of the video: genus, or genius? lol
It would be nice to hear it in metres and centimeters and I thought that Tasmania might get a bit more of a mention ...... this is cool and two thumbs up !!
This inspires me to plant something that will outlive me for millennia. Right after this beer.
The location of the Hyperion Tree isn't a secret at all. The exact location with a map can be found in numerous places online.
Shush you.
Jeezus, have you seen what some people are capable of?
I've been to Hyperion several times and I'm not a member of any group. Also, the tree featured as Hyperion in this film is NOT Hyperion.
also this one image is enough to point out it's approximate location on a map. Judging from google maps, this is most likely Klamath river. It has a stretch of around 30 km (~18.5 miles) (straight line) that has the combination of river and river-bank one can see in the picture. Add to that, that without a closer inspection, you can narrow it down to ~5 places that are likely and it's not really gonna be an issue to find it. If you were motivated, you could hike that distance in 1-2 days and find it halfway through probably.
Edit: nvm redwood creek seems even more likely. It has an even shorter stretch of river that seems likely. I could fly to the usa for one day and i bet i could find it in that time, just with google maps and that picture.
@@notlisztening9821 nvm?
! million views and that without being able to pronounce English, amazing.

Genius? rofl, it's called GENUS dude.
Replace the "g" in genus to a "p" (I'll delete this later)
Wow very big tree
It's nice to know that they still exist in my life time

And he sure did.

That’s the reason why I watched this video😂😂😂😂 he screwed it up on so many levels that I thought he said a completely different word. More eye like wtf how does one even mispronounce that bad.
SMOKE TREES
Amazing
A couple of years ago I was driving along the Vancouver Island southern shore, a place where they cut down all the spruce trees in the Second World War for planes and mine sweepers. We saw a sign , old and tilting, that said worlds tallest spruce tree so we drove around this loop looking for it until we finally found the worlds largest spruce stump.
when you want that youtube moneys but you failed high school english
or mau-ri
They indeed deserve human love for human love and rain motivates them to grow for them to grow and expand beyond their limits.
Thank you so much
They forgot to include Methuselah the world's oldest tree which is a bristlecone pine that is over 4,500 years old I think. Also the grizzly giant in Yosemite is pretty cool.
The title of the post is “Biggest” , not. “Oldest”. Just saying.
The oldest tree is actually "Pando" a quaking Aspen that has been estimated to be as old AS THE LAST ICE AGE!
This video is littered with errors. First off what is your definition of "Biggest" ? My definition is a measurement of volume, not height (tallest). If you want a list of the tallest conifer species in the world, here it is in order: 1.Redwood, 2.Douglas Fir, 3.Sitka Spruce. Second, the General Sherman tree is literally the biggest tree in the world, not debatable, period. Third, the picture for number 2, Helios (a redwood), is actually a giant sequoia pictured. Fourth, that is not Hyperion, the location of which is not publicly disclosed by the researchers who found and study the tree.
You have made one grave error yourself.
General Sherman is the biggest tree in the world _that we know of._
So it could be debatable, we just don't know for sure at this time. And maybe never will unless every gigantic tree in the world is actually found, and then measured.
dont ponderous pines get real tall also?
According to the author of the book The Wild Trees, Hyperion fell.
enormous, wow 🌲
The trees are so beautiful.
The Quinault Lake Cedar (#14) came down in 2016 🥵 We hiked out to it a couple of months ago. It was actually still an amazing site because you can now walk along this HUGE fallen tree. Ironic that this tree that had been standing for over 1000 years, fell down about 2 weeks after this video was posted.
Sad...
Only three groups of people can find a gigantic tree that towers of the entire surrounding landscape...
The picture he showed of Hyperion is not actually Hyperion.
You have obviously not been up there. the Sierras are mountains and trees for hundreds, even thousands of square meters. Europeans always seem to look at things in they're little window.
vin russo coastal redwoods don’t live in the sierras they live almost exclusively within 20 miles of the coast. Plus the tree in the picture is not even Hyperion
Access to these locations is difficult by land...too many insurmountable ridges and inclines. Airplane, satellite, drone aircraft are some other options.
@@johnnathan5894 that tree is a Sequoia Redwood though. They live in the Sierra Nevada mounts not along the coast.
3 groups of people REPORTED the tree.
I Imagine a whole bunch of people saw the tree and said to themselves "That's a big ass tree" then got on with their lives.
How many toes has a big foot?
Nice image quality wow! Good job lol
Who wrote your script?
wow you must need a lot of people to measure all those feet, or do you use shoes?
One of those trees was 3.8 centipede.
amazing
Knowledgeable
"genius" for "genus"? C'mon.
In western Australia there are red tingle trees with a girth of up to 24 meters and a hight of 75 meters. Sadly most of them are gone due to climate change. And in Tasmania there were heaps of trees over 100m but they were all logged.
I'm no hippie but I want to hug them all !!!! :}
Nice 👍🏻 one 💕
I grow sweet Chestnut 🌰 trees 🌳 as a hobby .... They can live for
500 years and more .... 🌱
Hey, you should also put in the equivalent measure in meters, so that people using the metric system can better follow the video. Greetings from germany!
2.54 centimeters per inch. A little cross-multiplication will take you the rest of the way ;)
There are just over three feet per meter, so it is pretty simple to calculate the conversion.
It is a way better viewing experience if you can just watch the video, without calculating inbetween. Like the movies with suptitles ... super annoying.
Very true!
You don't know the conversions?
1 meter = 3.28 feet.
Even the "backwards" people of the United States are taught that.
HUMBOLDT FOR THE WIN!!
The last one blew my mind
"Saying this tree is tall would be an understatement"
