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!
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.
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.
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
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
Live Love -. Yes! Quite ironic isn’t it! We are destroying what we have thinking some other planet would be better. Perhaps we are not as smart as we people think we are.
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.
Worlds biggest banyan tree in the world is located on India Telangana mahaboob nagar,is called pillalamarri,this tree around 5 Hecares of width over 500 years old
"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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
You might learn how to convert from one system to another. 3 feet per yard. 1 yard APPROXIMATELY one meter. Close enough to understand the scale of these trees.
jment34 Better idea for who? People that are not bright enough to have ever learned the basic measuring system used in this country for hundreds of years? If you have lived here your entire life and still cannot figure out what 300 feet looks like, then not much hope that just converting to a different system will help any.
Mike Betts in this country. right there. the rest of the world with the exception of the UK and the US are using Meters. this video has been posted to an international platform. that means that it's simply ignorant to assume everyone else has to learn a measurement system exclusively used in 2 or 3 countries. Me for example I'm not from either of those countries and to me this information was mostly useless. Globalization is real and it's time that things like that are being made easier for everyone
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.
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 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.
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.
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 !!
measured at 115.92 m (380.3 ft), which ranks it as the world's tallest known living tree. its Bigger than any you have in your yard - your statement has no Logic - bigger in girth, bigger span, Bigger in height, bigger age, different useage , with the same meaning of Bigger, larger, etc when comparing one item or thing to another -
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!
It is a way better viewing experience if you can just watch the video, without calculating inbetween. Like the movies with suptitles ... super annoying.
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.
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

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.

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.

"Girth of 3.5 feet"? LOL - that would be the little tree down the lane.
I need to see Yggdrasil
Wow very big tree
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.
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 !!
EARTH FIRST!!!! We'll log the rest of the planets later....
Leave the trees alone, pig.
Thank you so much
This guy needs to work on his pronuncernation

"more i " he says instead of maori ( mouldy) "curry" he says instead of kauri (coldy)
Its not Biggest but tallest trees. The Hyperion is not the biggest but the tallest tree yet known. Huge difference
measured at 115.92 m (380.3 ft), which ranks it as the world's tallest known living tree. its Bigger than any you have in your yard - your statement has no Logic - bigger in girth, bigger span, Bigger in height, bigger age, different useage , with the same meaning of Bigger, larger, etc when comparing one item or thing to another -
So hight and great trees
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.
Muito bom esse video valeu , seu trabalho postando essas maravilhas da natureza !
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 just love those big fullas still out there
