I must admit, living in California for 32 years, I am truly lucky to had visited all of the big tree forests. The size of these trees are just surreal! Thanks to these trees and my research about them for over 23 years I realize that our Earth Realm is really more than meets the eye!!

@@andyheritage enjoy Bavaria! My last 18 months in the military were spent in Germany. Once they found out I could ski, they re-assigned me to the US Rasthaus at Chiemsee.

As for my son, he lost interest at about 13 years old. But, it was fun. I wasn't a troop leader, more of a helper dad.
As a caretaker of a 5000 acre forest property in NSW, Australia, I have the privilege of a little valley (50 acres) that's never been logged... there's 30 trees of mixed eucalypt species ( blue gum, tallowood, grey mahogany, brush box to name a few)over 10 metres circumference at 3mt off the ground, well over 200ft tall... giant cedar, tulipwood and native sassafras also abound. My own private Jurassic park that I take friends to see... all are amazed.
@@Leosarebetter I've been thinking about that for a while mate... next time my nephew visits I'll ask him about doing it with his drone..(I'm a tech dinosaur)...
I hiked to Hailstorm yesterday in Jediediah state park and my mind was completely blown! Words cannot describe the experience. It was so quiet and peaceful, yet powerful and humbling.
@@Hyoscyamus369 you should get out more, most people make friends when they go out. I'm sure this would help you in life. Hardly anyone would want to be in your company when you keep talking about fingernails and wormholes. Are you still at school?
Down here in New Zealand we have Tāne Mahuta, the oldest Kauri tree in the country. It isn't as tall as the trees on this list(45m), but is estimated to be between 1250 and 2500 years old. The tallest trees are Kahikatea(white pine), which grow to be up to 69 meters. I've seen these in person and they are completely breathtaking. The soft wood was used for butter boxes as it does not taint food. Rimu trees, which have subjectively the most beautiful heartwood in the world, grow for about 500-600 years before they are large enough to be logged. Nowadays you need a special permit to cut them down, along with many other natives simply because they grow so slowly. It's amazing to see all these different trees and forests from different parts of the world that you never see in person, and you gain a better appreciation for the world around you. Thanks for the video.
My wife and I visited the Mariposa Grove years ago. We had the Grizzly Giant to ourselves one morning. Incredible. You stand there looking up at it imaging how many civilizations have come and gone since it was just a sapling... over 2,000 years ago.
Rising out of a Tasmanian rain forest valley way north of Centurion in a different area, there is another Eucalyptus tree, wider at the girth than the pic shown at 14:16. Took my breath away.
I couldn't find the tree in the thumbnail for this video which was the Giant Grizzly in Yosemite which is almost as large as General Sherman. I once took a blind Japanese man there (with a group) and since he couldn't see the tree, I got permission to allow him to touch it, all the way around. It's close to 30' in diameter. Yeah, it's BIG. Needless to say he was quite impressed.
Absolutely stunning !! We saw these Giants in Northern California over 30 years ago. The beauty and peace is overwhelming. Hopefully man will keep his dirty hands off of them. And generations to come can enjoy them.
So true. 40 Years Ago :: 40 years ago, children were gentle with their parents. Today parents have to be gentle with their children. 40 years ago, everyone wanted to have children. Today many people are afraid of having children. 40 years ago, children respected their parents. Now parents have to respect their children. 40 years ago, marriage was easy but divorce was difficult. Nowadays it is difficult to get married but divorce is so easy. 40 years ago, we got to know all the neighbours. Now we are strangers to our neighbors. 40 years ago, people had to eat a lot because they needed the energy to work hard. Now we are afraid to eat fatty foods for fear of the cholesterol. 40 years ago, villagers were flocking to the city to find jobs. Now the town people are fleeing from the stress to find peace. 40 years ago, everyone wanted to be fat to look happy ... Nowadays everyone diets to look healthy. 40 years ago, rich people pretended to be poor. Now the poor are pretending to be rich. 40 years ago, only one person worked to support the whole family. Now all have to work to support one child. 40 years ago, people loved to study and read books ... now people love to update Facebook etc and read their whatsapp messages.

Hiker to a Local: "Hi I was looking for the secret location of the tallest tree in the world?" Local: Oh you must mean that really tall one sticking out over there?" Hiker: "Yeah, that's it." Local: "Oh, sorry I can't tell you that. It's a secret. "
One of our neighbors here in Colorado front range had a 5 story tall Noble furan, and every xmas he would completely cover it with lights. Sadly a couple of years ago a big storm snapped it in half.
I have a real love for trees. When you think the energy necessary to grow these monuments of nature! These trees are very tall indeed. But where are the Baoba trees ? There are massive baobabs in South Africa and even in Madagascar , I believe . Not so tall but very, very big.
You didn’t mention the 95m (315 ft) tall Sitka Spruce called The Carmanah Giant in Carmanah/Wahlbran Provincial Park on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada
As a little kid, I remember visiting a Sitka Spruce tree somewhere on the Oregon coast, I think near Seaside or Astoria. The sign said something like 'largest tree in North America west of the Mississippi.' When traveling through the area as an adult, I decided to stop and take a look. I couldn't find it. I stopped in a little grocery store for a drink and asked about it. The guy said it blew over during a typical coastal storm............😔
Thanks for the tree huggers around 1900 which saved them, otherwise tourism would be 0. That is what I sayed to an Oakie in Yosemite which said cut them down for timber.
When you say that Dinizia Excelsa's trunk has a diameter of 75 feet, perhaps you are thinking of something else? The average Dinizia Excelsa's diameter is between 3 and 6 feet, with the largest circumference measured at 18 feet. A diameter of 75 feet would be more than twice that of the General Sherman giant sequoia, currently the largest tree on the planet.
nice vid, thanks. Do you do one for oldest trees? I saw the Huon Pine (Lagarostrobos) in Tasmania a few years ago and several of the trees a estimated to be in the 3000 year mark. They grow very slowly and aren't very tall but have a fascinating history.
I stood next to a Western Red Cedar once that measured at over 14 ft. across. It survived only because of multiple lightning strikes that made it's core hollow rendering the timber useless to cut. It makes one feel very small.
Some of the trees in my opinion get damaged when the scientists take a core sample. There used to be a giant Sequoia near Seaside. And it got broke by the base blown over. In the area they took a bunch of samples.
I love trees! I have taken vacations just to visit the forests up and down the Pacific's coast. My family lives on the east coast and their forests are completely different! I am native to Colorado! Sadly you now make "appointments" to visit popular tourist areas basically because humans cannot be trusted. Hanging Lake was so destroyed by trash and graffiti you now are a tourist in your own state. Smh Dr. Seuss was prophetic when he wrote The Lorax!!
My home state truly is remarkable. We also have the oldest trees in the world, the Bristlecone Pine, highest mountain in the lower 48, Mount Whitney and lowest spot in North America, Death Valley.
For people interested in big trees that live in the southeast of the US, the best place to go is Congaree outside of Columbia, South Carolina. Basically a huge swamp that prevented commercial loggers from clearcutting the area. I have seen the Redwoods and Sequoias and these trees are the closest in size to those that I've ever seen.

nice vid. two criticisms. They confuse diameter with circumference. How "big around" a tree is at its base - thats its circumference. How thick it is...thats that the diameter. Their graphics show the two as being the same. circumference is about three times the diameter on most trees. Though tropical trees have those funky vertical root like extensions at the bottom that make their circumference more. The other this is a nitpick. Strictly speaking we now know that there is a species of aspen in which a whole forest of hundreds of acres of seemingly seperate average sized trees are actually connected underground as one single organism. The whole forest is really one tree. So that type of aspens are now known to be 'the biggest organisms on earth". But if youre talking about single trunk trees then this list would probably be the biggest.
this is a very cool and beautiful video.Though we in Croatia have not such tall trees we have much much older trees.....If you are to visit island Pag go to Lun,little town there,there are olives which are 1600 old and scientist have not yet found the oldest among them. They are sure that they will eventually find older. One idiot,construction business man,wanted to cut them all down to build apartments there....needless to say residents almost hanged him to one of those olives. Hrvatske šume/Croatian forests is state company that manage the forests in Croatia.....I was there few times and I saw huge oaks cut down on century old photos......even now the bigest and oldest oak in Europe is in Croatia measuring 40m in height and circumference of 8m......that oak is 350y old. It grows in oldest oak forest in Europe.But in my home town Zagreb in Maksimir park grows even older oak of 600y...we call him Dedek/Grandpa. 40% of Croatia is covered with forests. We love trees!!!!! stay safe and welcome to Croatia-wonder land and country full of wonders🙂
My joke about trees,,,,,,, it takes God centuries to grow a tree,,,, and man mere minutes to cut it down. I've toured the tall trees in Oregon and California. They're beautiful! I need to re-visit them one more time! The trees have grown and I've shrunk! Funny isn't it!
I was wondering when the giant eucalypts of Tasmania were going to get a mention. Thanks for the informative video. BTW, I have seen stumps three to four times larger whilst bushawalking in wild forest, too isolated for Tas forestry to clearfell. One of these outlines of a stump long since returned to the earth from which it came, is four to five times larger than anything shown in this video. I shall attempt (old and crippled, but still able to get around) to return and take measuring tape and camera for proof, but will always keep secret it's location. As well as protecting the supposedly extinct Tasmanian Tiger (marsupial wolf), by keeping secret the location of it's terrain. Alas, should the info get to the authorities, they certainly would be hunted into extinction. Effing do gooders, not happy letting things live unmolested, they stick tracking devices on animals, supposedly for "research". Or in the case of the Tas tiger, capture for "breeding program". John Lennon, "LET IT BE".
Yeah nah. If the Tassie Tiger was still around we'd know by now. If it was actually extant there would be a huge Government initiate offered towards species rehabilitation. I don't even think your average crackhead would go out and hunt the animal if it were here still. Please shut up.
@@whyyes6428 na yeah defo plausible that the tassi tiger is there, I hear it's on the southern part of the mainland. We have moose in NZ that apparently don't exist here anymore but people hear their calls and some have found antlers. If a moose can hide, anything can
@@damink_8508 If the Thylacine was around, which isn't, after the almost 100 years it's been extinct one could expect them to have bred enough to have been abundant enough to have been observed by the many people who've dedicated their lives to locating one. Also, it's understood in the scientific studies that their genetics was not diverse as discovered by DNA tests carried out from a Thylacine embryo that was preserved in alcohol. This lack of genetic diversity does not lend itself to a species survival. I do thoroughly believe they're extinct for the reasons I've mentioned and until one if found ALIVE I will be adamant they're no longer extant.
@@whyyes6428 I know what your saying about we should have seen them by now if they were still alive but....having been down in South West / Franklin-Gorden National Parks it is very possible that they could live in there and never be seen. I like to hope were all wring and they are still around. There has been numerous aminals that have been marked as exstinct and then a small pocket of them is discovered. And don't try and tell me that South West & Franklin gorden nps have been fully explored.
Title should have been tallest trees, not biggest. General Sherman has remained the tree considered to be the most massive living tree on the planet . There are trees that have more "girth" yet not as massive .
This video should have used the word tallest tree instead of biggest tree. It did show General Sherman but didn't mention it anywhere in the list. The General Sherman Tree is the largest in the world by volume at 52,508 cubic feet (1,487 cubic meters). The General Grant Tree is the second largest at 46,608 cubic feet (1,320 cubic meters)
Early American settlers cut down all the trees on the east coast early on, thankfully they didn’t reach the west coast in time so we still have some marvels left.
nothing on the east coast compares to the size of trees on the west, and early settlers absolutely got their filthy hands on the redwood forests of California
The editor of this video's narrative didn't do his/her job. The Dinizia Excelsa does not have a trunk with a "diameter" of 50-75 feet. It may have a "circumference" of that length but certainly not a diameter. No tree on Earth does.
It’s amazing that the tallest ones are only recently discovered. It just goes to show huge swathes of American forest has still never been trodden by humans, That’s before you consider the rest of the planet!

Basically a huge swamp that prevented commercial loggers from clearcutting the area. I have seen the Redwoods and Sequoias and these trees are the closest in size to those that I've ever seen.
Sir Vim is the tallest known Manna Gum, so the Manna Gum species is mentioned twice.
Respect to these standing giants!
Top 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALSO USING THE METRIC SYSTEM!!!!!!!

Um... i c what U did there.....
nice vid. two criticisms. They confuse diameter with circumference. How "big around" a tree is at its base - thats its circumference. How thick it is...thats that the diameter. Their graphics show the two as being the same. circumference is about three times the diameter on most trees. Though tropical trees have those funky vertical root like extensions at the bottom that make their circumference more. The other this is a nitpick. Strictly speaking we now know that there is a species of aspen in which a whole forest of hundreds of acres of seemingly seperate average sized trees are actually connected underground as one single organism. The whole forest is really one tree. So that type of aspens are now known to be 'the biggest organisms on earth". But if youre talking about single trunk trees then this list would probably be the biggest.
this is a very cool and beautiful video.Though we in Croatia have not such tall trees we have much much older trees.....If you are to visit island Pag go to Lun,little town there,there are olives which are 1600 old and scientist have not yet found the oldest among them. They are sure that they will eventually find older.
One idiot,construction business man,wanted to cut them all down to build apartments there....needless to say residents almost hanged him to one of those olives.
Hrvatske šume/Croatian forests is state company that manage the forests in Croatia.....I was there few times and I saw huge oaks cut down on century old photos......even now the bigest and oldest oak in Europe is in Croatia measuring 40m in height and circumference of 8m......that oak is 350y old. It grows in oldest oak forest in Europe.But in my home town Zagreb in Maksimir park grows even older oak of 600y...we call him Dedek/Grandpa.
40% of Croatia is covered with forests. We love trees!!!!! stay safe and welcome to Croatia-wonder land and country full of wonders🙂
What about the endangered species that only grows in the South Carolina swamp called the Loblolly pine? They are bigger than many of these trees.
These were not the biggest trees. They were the tallest, but "biggest" implies total board feet or mass.
I believe the General Sherman is, or at least is close to the largest in mass in the world.
My joke about trees,,,,,,, it takes God centuries to grow a tree,,,, and man mere minutes to cut it down. I've toured the tall trees in Oregon and California. They're beautiful! I need to re-visit them one more time! The trees have grown and I've shrunk! Funny isn't it!
There is a difference between tallest and largest when comparing trees
SubhanAllah all tree r create. Allah subhanahu wataallah
Do miss karri trees on this list.
Few people realize it, but Devil's Tower is a gigantic fossilized tree stump.
the noble fir doesn't grow pine cones... they grow fir cones. ;-)
You noticed that too, huh?
Love it.💚😎
Imagine how many homes for the homeless those huge trees could provide!!!!!
I love our tree varieties in the Pacific NW and Northern CA. Phenomenal in sizes.
mostly California
I was wondering when the giant eucalypts of Tasmania were going to get a mention. Thanks for the informative video. BTW, I have seen stumps three to four times larger whilst bushawalking in wild forest, too isolated for Tas forestry to clearfell. One of these outlines of a stump long since returned to the earth from which it came, is four to five times larger than anything shown in this video. I shall attempt (old and crippled, but still able to get around) to return and take measuring tape and camera for proof, but will always keep secret it's location. As well as protecting the supposedly extinct Tasmanian Tiger (marsupial wolf), by keeping secret the location of it's terrain. Alas, should the info get to the authorities, they certainly would be hunted into extinction. Effing do gooders, not happy letting things live unmolested, they stick tracking devices on animals, supposedly for "research". Or in the case of the Tas tiger, capture for "breeding program". John Lennon, "LET IT BE".
Yeah nah. If the Tassie Tiger was still around we'd know by now. If it was actually extant there would be a huge Government initiate offered towards species rehabilitation. I don't even think your average crackhead would go out and hunt the animal if it were here still. Please shut up.
@@whyyes6428 na yeah defo plausible that the tassi tiger is there, I hear it's on the southern part of the mainland. We have moose in NZ that apparently don't exist here anymore but people hear their calls and some have found antlers. If a moose can hide, anything can
@@damink_8508 If the Thylacine was around, which isn't, after the almost 100 years it's been extinct one could expect them to have bred enough to have been abundant enough to have been observed by the many people who've dedicated their lives to locating one.
Also, it's understood in the scientific studies that their genetics was not diverse as discovered by DNA tests carried out from a Thylacine embryo that was preserved in alcohol. This lack of genetic diversity does not lend itself to a species survival.
I do thoroughly believe they're extinct for the reasons I've mentioned and until one if found ALIVE I will be adamant they're no longer extant.
@@whyyes6428 I know what your saying about we should have seen them by now if they were still alive but....having been down in South West / Franklin-Gorden National Parks it is very possible that they could live in there and never be seen. I like to hope were all wring and they are still around. There has been numerous aminals that have been marked as exstinct and then a small pocket of them is discovered. And don't try and tell me that South West & Franklin gorden nps have been fully explored.
@@Mack74 It's nice to believe they aren't extinct but they are. Just accept it
I think that the Noble fir segment incorrectly displayed a number of other species like grand fir. Would anyone agree?
Theres a cherry tree outside my parents old house that's like 25 feet...
Wow! Seriously… that’s bloody tall.
You guys come to Africa and see mighty trees
Can't. They're full of slithering snakes
the cleaners of the oxygen we breath = refreshing 🦅
👌👌👌🔥🔥🔥
Title should have been tallest trees, not biggest.
General Sherman has remained the tree considered to be the most massive living tree on the planet .
There are trees that have more "girth" yet not as massive .
새해 복 많이 받으세요
00:44 Nice thicc yuge bullet seed 👌
This video should have used the word tallest tree instead of biggest tree. It did show General Sherman but didn't mention it anywhere in the list.
The General Sherman Tree is the largest in the world by volume at 52,508 cubic feet (1,487 cubic meters). The General Grant Tree is the second largest at 46,608 cubic feet (1,320 cubic meters)
Everything in the US is always the biggest and best, tallest and longest and so full of itself
Great trees but they mention Koala in this story as a bear, IT IS NOT A BEAR, it is a Marsupials
I love all your shows
Early American settlers cut down all the trees on the east coast early on, thankfully they didn’t reach the west coast in time so we still have some marvels left.
nothing on the east coast compares to the size of trees on the west, and early settlers absolutely got their filthy hands on the redwood forests of California
@@WillAnderson3rd those large trees are older than America bro
There is a very big tree in BURSA / Turkey
The editor of this video's narrative didn't do his/her job. The Dinizia Excelsa does not have a trunk with a "diameter" of 50-75 feet. It may have a "circumference" of that length but certainly not a diameter. No tree on Earth does.
It’s amazing that the tallest ones are only recently discovered. It just goes to show huge swathes of American forest has still never been trodden by humans, That’s before you consider the rest of the planet!
Dead trees were wasted for lumber in Kalifornia when government wouldn’t allow logging the dead ones and the fires burned it all.
I had no idea Charlie Sheen narrated documentaries!!! Hahaha
I walk in to see Sir Vim at the evercreech reserve today, sadly it has died.
They some big trees
