I am going to engineering school and one of my life goals is to invent a material that is strong enough, rigid enough, and safe enough to be used as a permanent replacement for wood, so that I can forever help preserve the natural beauty of trees. I love plants, I love trees, and I love mother earth
Do it without cutting trees
good luck mate hope is works out
"strong enough, rigid enough, and safe enough " and cheap enough. we probably already have it. it has to be cheap enough too or no business will come near it.
They already have, problem is cost way more, fortunately for us earth provides endless amount of trees to offset that cost, and we (humans) unlike termites and woodpeckers are wise enough to replant them, paper, pencils etc use wood, it's called life!!!!go take politics and learn to unify and bond Americans will be a first!! Goodluck
P
There is nothing more magnificent than seeing and observing the beauty that is nature. Such elegance, power and beauty that exist should be protected!!!
True
That's why preferred living in nature than living in cities full of noise pollution , blooming population , air pollution , depression etc. It's my dream to build a home in forest. My aunt lives in forest and whenever I have holidays I visit there and believe me man nothing is more soothing and refreshing than this.
Can’t believe the giant sequoias were not featured. They are truly awesome.
Right! I said the same thing. I thought they were the tallest on earth!
Sequoia trees ARE the biggest trees on the planet top 5 channel fyi!!!!
@@trevorw3233 Yeah...Top 5 Channell! 😛 I agree with you, Trevor. As soon as I saw the video title, it's the first one I thought of. I was amazed it wasn't the very first one!
I suspect had we have allowed our trees to just be that our world would look so much different. Trees, bushes, flowers, spices & herbs are such amazing gifts to our world 🌎
Nature truly is absolutely amazing, I can see why Native Americans hold nature so dear and close to their hearts and their spiritual beliefs. If you just stand in the presence of these monolithic structures, you can almost feel the energy, the life, and the spirit of nature. That might sound corny to some people, but not to me. I’m as white as they come, born and raised in Toronto my entire life, of English and Irish background, but I swear to God, somehow there’s a part of me that is Native American, because I share so much of their beliefs regarding nature, and the deep respect that they hold for it. Many years ago, I was travelling around British Columbia, and across Vancouver Island, and to see an entire mountain side completely wiped clean of every single tree that was there, literally had me in tears. I can’t explain it, but the emotional response I felt was absolutely overwhelming, as if something or somebody that I love dearly, died. I understand that humanity needs materials, but with today’s modern techniques of construction, it’s no longer necessary to destroy such beauty all over the world. When will humanity learn that this isn’t just a hunk of wood, these living beings are the very lifeblood of the planet, and without them we would all be dead, and that’s a fact. They’re already destroying the Amazon, that are literally the lungs of the planet, as they absorbs CO2, and give us oxygen to breathe. By killing nature, we are killing ourselves. It’s way past time that we woke up to that realization, to learn to respect nature, to learn that it’s not there for us to do with as we please, it’s there to keep us alive, to sustain us, to feed us, and to give us life. It’s so ironic that for centuries we’ve been killing the one thing that’s been keeping us alive, I only pray to God that one day all the worlds Governments finally clue into that fact, and adopt all the new methods of creating construction materials, and hydroponic food growth, so that we don’t have to destroy nature, but instead, live in harmony, peace, and respect with it. Please tell me that I’m not the only one who feels this way, because for me nature is life. I suffer from extreme depression and anxiety, due to many health problems including cancer, and whenever the world becomes so dark that I can’t stand it, I need only walk through the forest not far from my home, and I am instantly renewed back to full vigour and life. It’s impossible to put into words, but it truly inspires me, it lifts my spirits, and for the briefest of moments makes me feel alive again, so please, I beg all of you, have a little more respect for nature, because you have no idea just how much it does for us, thank you.
Great comment I invite you to research our infinite plane. I believe that we had huge fat trees on this planet that we cut down (look up petrified tree stump / plateau theory) 1. We live on an infinite flat plane. It is infinitely flat in all directions. We can easily believe in infinite space but not an infinite flat plane? Our land mass on the infinite flat plane. 4.5 MB Full Size ibb.co/Mh8N1WH 2. Earth is an infinite plane with no boundaries. You don’t have to leave this world to find other worlds. There is land and water beyond the poles. 1957: Is naval air unit penetrated to 2300 miles beyond the South Pole, it was always over land ice and water. The flight received negligible media press. kzhead.info/sun/pLWmiZWcsKKElIE/bejne.html
You have a variety of responses to your heartfelt. If it is of interest to you I would like to share this short article that explains how the future is going to be wonderful because humankind is about to be ruled by a heavenly government: www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/questions/what-gods-kingdom-will-do/ All suffering will cease. Our beautiful planet home will be cherished & healed. People will be educated to respect & honour each other. Revelation 21:3,4 "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
Yes it is very important for us to protect nature for our own well being because destroying nature has its adverse effects which we are experiencing in some parts of the world and constructing houses at the expense of the life of the trees is unthinkable however much be possible we should always try and protect our trees because they need our help for their existence

General Sherman isn’t in this list? Also, the Picea sitchensis, the Sitka spruce. Would not qualify?
The general Sherman tree was in his top 5 biggest trees in the world video
@@xpmexican7600 So it is a top 5 but not a top 15? How does the now extinct Tennessee Treehouse @ 80' make it in at #4. That probably belongs on the top 5 biggest treehouse list, not here.
Not mention the General Grant and the President (sequoias) or the Icarus, Helios, and Daedalus (coast redwoods).
no 5 , change "menaraH" to "Menara". remove the H . or it will give difference meaning
I went to sequoia national park the nature there is beautiful and thousands of general Sherman’s.
Love those rainbow trees, and visiting the Redwoods in California was sheer heaven for me.
I would imagine the photos don't do the trees justice. Also I would imagine the view from the ground level is daunting.
You're very lucky
What about honorable mention of a tree in Harrodsburg Kentucky at Fort Harrods Park. Technically a hedge. The second largest Osage Orange in the world is there and it is a favorite attraction. Kids have been climbing in the tree since the days of Daniel Boone. The biggest I believe is in Cyprus. The thing that keeps the Harrodsburg tree #2 is that it's got a split trunk. Spots are polished from being climbed in. Cool spot yall.
I live kind of near the Tennessee treehouse and everyone knows someone burnt it down on purpose. It was closed down before it was burnt, but people still went in it. It is really sad that someone really took away something everyone in the area loved to visit.
OMG BUT LIKE I LEGIT WANT TO PLAY HIDE AND SEEK IN IT
From New Zealand. I remember sneaking to climb tane mahuta as a kid. I climbed to the top and fell a sleep on a branch while communing with the tree god Bark. When I woke up it was dark. I climbed down feeling like a champion.
I would have thought the Sitka Spruce trees would have at least been mentioned in passing. They're to be found in the wet, moist grounds along the Pacific northwest above Washington up to Alaska and east to the yukon. They're said to live to be up to 600 years old and up to 300 feet tall. While not necessarily the tallest evergreen, just the sight of one is awe inspiring.
I'd agree. But the problem is that we cut down so many of them. I've heard of some up to 24' diameter. too bad we were so short sighted.
Putting a fake tree at number 12? Come on...
I thought the Ponderosa pine might fall into this category, but I guess not. Many beautiful trees, and the magnificence of them always takes my breath away. Thank you
General Sherman is in the thumb nail!! Totally haven’t even started the video yet, but I actually have one of the pictures that I took of General Sherman as my phone case. I spend every summer up in the Sequoia National Park and my friend and I call General Sherman our friend and nothing is more amazing than going right up to him and laying down and looking up at his absolute beauty.
It is a feeling like no other . We live down in Tulare and go up to the Sequoias as much as we can . Rember take only pictures leave only footsteps .
@@fallencrown6069 how crazy, I’m in Visalia! I have hundreds of pictures of General Sherman. Sometimes we find an area behind where everyone takes pictures and we just sit there and take in the beauty. The last few times we’ve gone, we’ve seen a lot of trash, so we try and pick as much up as we can so we can keep the area clean so people can experience how majestic Sherman is
Ummm, there's a fence around General Sherman FOR A REASON!!!
They left the General out. And that is a crime!
I have to wonder why General Sherman was not in the list? While not the tallest... it is certainly not the shortest... and is far more impressive than a floating a "floating Christmas tree"
I hightly doubt that the floating christmas tree is actually a tree 😂 Although the redwood Luna in California is nowhere near the tallest, but still amazingly tall with its 60 meters, the background story is quite something. A girl named Julia lived on it for 738 days in a row, so it couldn't be cut down.

4:27 - "it's just under 169 ft tall.." *graphic shows a height of 327 ft Great work, Top Fives. Nailed it!
10:05 They also showed macaques (I think) instead of orangutans and a leopard instead of a clouded leopard.
@8:24 Juggernaut is not 460 feet tall. It is located at an elevation of 460 feet. The tree is 306 feet tall.
And that is exactly where I stopped watching this video!
Yes, you right👍
So many from Australia, as an Aboriginal Australian I hope we keep them! Nature is truly amazing, we should do what we can to ensure we don't destroy what mother nature has created.
Yes,we need them alive more than they need us.
It must have been devastating for the Aboriginal Australians to witness the destruction of native bushland, early White settlement. During my life time (NSW) I have seen the urban spread in my city with the loss of so many trees now replaced with roof tops glistening in the hot summer sun. I mourn the loss of natural habitat that I remember from my childhood. Kind regards.
@@annviolet4727 We need to stop mass immigration which is what is driving this huge land grab causing our forests to be bulldozed in favor of more houses. We also don't have enough fresh water to be doing what we're doing. It's utterly ridiculous.
@@Globalgenocide I agree. Immigrants being crammed in like sardines.
@@annviolet4727 So where do u live that has no timber in it?
These are awesome trees! Magnificent!
I live in Tasmania....I am also so happy that now our giant trees are protected from being cut down like they once weren't . My dad told me that as a kid in the 30's and 40's he saw many eucalypts species at least 300 ft .. Stories of trees close to 400 ft from the turn of the 20th century exist too and evidence has been found to validate that.. Great vid by the way..
Surprised there was no mention of General Sherman located in the "Trees of Mystery" tourist trap in northern Cali. Can't remember its orig height as its top was blown off in a storm but its base was something like 27' in diameter and in the early 90s was thought to be the 2nd oldest tree on the planet (if memory serves). That tourist trap also features 'Life Sized' statues of Paul Bunyon and Babe the blue ox (who is most definitely male... lol). Side note: My daughter was conceived in the shadow of General Sherman during regular business hours... lol
Absolutely Fascinating Well done, impressive and informative, wonderful tid bit of knowledge for those who care about the world we live in and appreciate the Beauty that God has created🙏
I thought the planet was in peril....
There are old logging mill records in Australia showing giant trees that were brought in to be milled piece by piece by bullock team. One Red Cedar I’ve read about was 130 yards long when the pieces were added together. Keep in kind, that back then they crowned the tree out in situ (the crown usually represents about 30+% of tree height) and due to buttressing at the base, they’d have to climb 15-20 yards up on the bigger trees in order to fell it. So this particular tree was pushing 200 yards long all up. The Sydney harbour bridge is 134m (146.5 yards) tall from top of arch to water for comparison. It’s incredible what we had and most of it was cut down with axes before chainsaws were even invented. There’s local photos around of bullock teams pulling logs in the early 1900’s and the logs diameter is equal to thus...the bullock team driver, on horseback, stock whip raised and ready to crack being level with top of log. Easily 20+ ft diameter. At most 2% of the main forest in my area survived (Big Scrub Rainforest, NSW). Such a pity as most was simply burnt to make way for beef/dairy cattle. What was milled is 99.9% gone. Lost to the ravages of time and progress.
The desert is creeping ever closer to the shore line here in Australia. Politicians have their heads stuck in the sand nowadays with little regard for the environment.
According to the Guinness Book of Records ( last I looked) the tallest tree known of was at Mt. Baw Baw in Victoria.

My parents took my Brothers, Sister and I on Vacations, Camping, to the Redwoods, Yosemite, Sequoia National Park, Yellowstone and most of the other "Big Tree" Parks in the US. I was and still am amazed at the Size of them...We even went and saw the one that you could Drive Through. But our Camper was too large to pass through it. I still have Pictures of some of them that we'd seen. I belonged to a family of six and we stretched arm to arm around some of them and still couldn't complete our circle, the bases were so large...They were truly amazing...

Perhaps it has been mentioned already. If so, my apologies. Juggernaut is 309ft tall, not 460. 460 is its elevation. 460 exceeds the theoretical maximum height of trees based on gravity vs capillary flow of water up the tree.
Lots of errors in this script. At one point he mentions the volume of wood and quotes it in square metres. Doh!
Yea I lol when I saw that
I have been to New Zealand twice in the past 15 years and saw the two largest. Orchids actually grow in the limbs of trees over there

Wow! I so appreciate all of fantastic details! Great job doing your research for the awesome content. :)
This video should have titled "Some big trees in no particular order"

Trees are alive and full of joy. You can feel it especially if you sit down with your back touching the tree... Something happens to you.. i have been doing it for years.. almost every 2 days for one hour. It fills me with life. there comes a point when i literally feel the tree hugging me from the inside. That is the point of me getting saturated with life. Then i get up, hug and kiss the tree, say thank you and wave goodbye to it. Now i am fully charged for days and ready to deal with the world.
I have seen Hyperion in person. It's truly amazing

We have a Wisteria along the edge of our property on the front. I have had to actually threaten bodily harm (I am 5'2" and 72 yrs old) to keep people from stopping and wanting to just cut a piece off of it to see if they can get it to grow at their house. Wish people would learn that what belongs to others is not theirs. It took us many years, alot of love and care to get ours to where it is and as beautiful as it is.

There is a tree just outside of Warburton, Victoria, Australia called the Ada tree. I believe at one stage it was recognised as the tallest in the country now it is recognised as the largest (volume) as there are a few trees that are taller. The base of the trunk is absolutely massive. Worth a look at.
We are currently working on a new system post 2020, but ask you be patient a few years to this gets implemented. This will include.... A new 4 hour workweek without land or housing cost. This will include Electric, Water, Internet, Some TV, and 20$ worth of food a week. Electric and Water will still be monitored for ridiculous over usage. If someone in the household fails to meet the 4 hours in a single week 6 charity hours will be deducted. These hours will be tracked yearly, and can also be completed ahead of schedule. For instance you may do fifty-two 4 hour shifts, or twenty-six 8 hour shifts, and be finished for a year. You may also get ahead of schedule and finish years ahead. All other items you wish to buy will be purchased with additional charity hours. All products can only be purchased through shipping outside of Grocery stores, Home improvement stores, Hospitals, and Pet shops. Shipping to your address will only be implemented 12 times a year per house, and will be traded for 4 hours of charity per person living in your household. 24 deliveries a year can be earned for 12 charity hours or more per person. More details to come. Bus passes will be passed out, on a 6th month bases for those contributing towards four hours of bus driving and/or other charity every 6 months. There is also plan in the works to implement 1 car per every 12 households. This plan will include pick ups/drop offs only to Bus stops, Grocery stores, Home improvement stores, Hospitals, and Pet shops. The rest will have to include bus passes or other means. Houses, including stationary households (example boats/trees) may be traded seasonally/yearly/permanently, for additional charity hours as moving people or other charities. However this will require both parties to sign a trade back/no trade back agreement. The amount of charity hours, and other details regarding this topic are still being written. You may freely pass this information on, but we ask the following.... #1. please do not discuss this politically or during news. As this is a slow plan in the works. All I can say is this has always been the plan, but some are trying to state and change the details otherwise. #2. Please advertise this scientifically and including all people. If you include religion, we ask you share it as a "neighborly messenger" or neutral party. #3. Lastly, please when discussing this DO NOT make it personal. We are just messengers. If anyone responds tell them you are just sharing what was given. If they continue to harass, just tell them someone shared this information with you. If they challenge you verbally, and insult you just continue to tell them this is the information we are working on over and over, until they are silent and/or they are no longer around you. Thank you!!! Peace, and Love.
Did the measuring tape only measure to 327’ ? I noticed a few trees being 327’ tall. 🤣🤣🤣
Ya and it mentions one bejng 169 ft tall then shows it as 327 ft tall. Not gonna finish this video if they can't fact check or correct errors.
327 feet is 100 meters. They are likely estimates in meters, converted to feet.
I'm surprised you didn't include the redwood cypress trees in Washington State. One so big they put a road through its trunk. Got to go visit this national park back in 2010. It was an amazing sight to behold. Completely protected from any deforestation. The only clearing that is allowed is to clear any fallen trees during rot or wind. If anyone is caught cutting down, any standing tree is hit with a hefty fine and prison time because it's a federal crime if caught cutting down any part of the protected trees for any reason.
Hemp is the way to go

The Mountain Ash from Australia's south east is the second highest at present, and the tallest flowering plant. Historically it was the tallest. In 1871 a fallen tree was measured with a surveyor's tape by the inspector of State Forests in Victoria, and came in at a massive 132.6 metres (435 feet). There is a limit to how high trees can grow. Water travels up the cambian layer just beneath the bark, by capillary action. This is limited to about 135 metres. Above that height the leaves can't get water.
Typical Australia ....we cut it down but gee it was a big bastard ha ha ha 😂
The word is cambium and that is a growth layer, not a water transmission layer. The plant height limit is defined by the cohesiveness of water. As a liquid pure water has high tensile and compression strength, but this is altered by mineral content. The water column in the xylem vessels literally takes on one water molecule from the roots as one molecule is released by transevaporation in the leaves, so not capillary action which is a phenomenon related to water/air interface. However, there is a physical limit to the tensile strength of the xylem water, which limits the absolute height of trees. Note that gymnosperms such as the tall sequoia in north America do not have xylem vessels, only xylem tracheids, which are narrower and may assist in maintaining the continuity of the water column more than the wider vessels. You might wonder that living cells should be able to pump water higher, but the plain fact is that xylem vessels and tracheids are actually dead cells that from long tubes; plants did not evolve a system for pumping water higher, and many plants do not reach anywhere near 100m. Height is an evolutionary advantage only in forests, and Eucalyptus for example has evolved other means to reduce competition for light, such as preventing growth of other plants nearby through their root systems. This is why eucalypts as agricultural windbreaks failed, because crops could not grow anywhere near the trees due to inhibition. The author of the video does not mention the giant karri trees in south Western Australia, which are almost as tall and very massive.

Lived in NZ near a giant redwood Forrest. Some were 80m plus high. 30m round the base. Lovely trees
The video says that the Juggernaut tree has a volume of 42,158 square feet. The problem: Volume is measured in CUBIC feet, not SQUARE feet.
It also says that Juggernaught is 460 feet tall. FALSE! It is at 460 feet of elevation above sea level and is actually 309 feet tall.
Yeah - and so many other discrepancies like so many trees were labelled 327ft high while the narrator was saying something totally different. Thumbs down from me for all the inacurrate data...
I could see so many 327ft tall!
To everyone who's horned in to this series of Posts: The "narrator", is obviously a ROBO-VOICE; someone compiles all of a bunch of disparate videos from KZhead, claims that they're all HIS OWN, and expects that we . . . or someone else . . . will pay him!!
Surprised General Sherman (a sequoia in central California) wasn't mentioned. Largest tree by volume in the world.
Correct. Nothing is bigger
My thoughts exactly
Yup, and the Jededuah redwood of 467' is simply untrue.
I was searching for this comment . I don't know why they did not mention it
Why is it called general Sherman? Growing up in north cal, we always call it giant sequoia.
Trees are amazing! I hope we are learning to care for them 💕
Time to go on a world tour to see these trees for myself .
Do it before some greedy person chops em down.
It’s great to see all these magnificent trees grow around the world, I am very proud that 3 of them come from the tiny island of Tasmania where I live. We go to great lengths to protect our old growth forests. We can also boast the second oldest trees as well, the Huon pine not sure of its botanical name, can live over 3000 years. These are endangered due to global warming and could be completely wiped out over the next 50 to 100 years 🥺
Last year I was camping at Seeley Lake in Montana. When I came across an extraordinary find. A Larch Tree which is one of the largest I've ever seen. Come to find out Big Gus as it's known. Is believed to be the largest Larch tree in the world at the moment. At 163 feet plus 10 ft dead top. Which has a circumference of 273 inches. That's massive for a larch tree here. When I inquired about it's age if known. Was amazed to find out it's believed to be over a thousand years old. To think this tree was around before Christopher Columbus discovered America. Around the time of the Mayan Chechen Itza Empire blows my mind. 🤯 There wasn't another dominant power in Yucatan until the 12th century. These trees are the planets time capsules here!! Also recommend a trip to Glacier National Park also in Montana. Which has cidar trees dating back to the last ice age. I was never much of a conservationist until I saw these magnificent places. They need to be protected at all costs here. :)
How old ?
We lost the "largest Norwegian pine" here in MN a few years ago due to high winds that ravaged Itaska state park in MN, it's where the Mississippi River starts.
Big Gus blew down this winter in a big snow storm that came out of the Missions Terrible

@@knunyabeasewhacks8744 : I believe you, and those Norways, are closely related to the Ponderosa Pines of the Far Western United States, and their Pacific Subspecies, is capable of growing to 300' tall, with a circumference breast height of more than 30'.
You can't really experience how big some trees are until you stand next to them. The first time I saw a redwood, i couldn't believe how large they were and took shelter inside one as it rained. Then, I went to see Sequoia National Park.

The rainbow eucalyptus is absolutely stunning! I’ve never even seen one of those before.
just need to watch out for the drop bears that live in them...scary stuff
Can seez them in Hawaii
I just🧐 love 💋❤️this channel 🌹
We don't have to touch these wonderful trees. Is a giant treasure for humanity. The trees have to be protected like the animal in extinction. Amazing video with unbelievable giants. Thanx for the video, very well done. (In italy we have nothing like this, .. i far... Ciao.👍👍👍
We must respect every tree in this planet Earth, because they allow human to be exist, there are no so call human or life without them, dont think we should protect them, they protect living Earth.
@@PhucHoang-gd7pg I agree!
@@PhucHoang-gd7pg INDEED.. Great Phúc 😀
Great video, great information. I was wondering why and how the bodhi tree which gave enlightenment to Budha from Bodh Gaya is not listed here.
There is a gigantic bald cypress in the Guadalupe river that should be part of this list. Its enormous, awesome.
I to
I think it's sad now that they have to keep the location of some of these trees a secret due to the crazy people out there.
They don't. Hyperion location is 41.20491, -124.01556
@@cadetbooth why post that? So stupid.
@@johnr5252 I don't think it's a secret. Anyway if Hyperion wanted privacy it should've got an unlisted number.
those crazy people are out there and right here as well
Let's all agree not to cut the big ones down
Or the small ones.
Let’s all agree to use hemp
That would be nice. Cutting them down is akin to demolishing St. Paul's Cathedral, Alhambra Palace, Petra, the list goes on.
World control by capitalism. They will do what ever they want .
We have to for climate change. Think of the children
Growing up in Newport Oregon, I know of at least 2 Douglas Firs bigger than the Doerner Fir.
Locations?
VIDEO CREATOR FYI: The tree at 4:31 you said was 169ft tall, but you put 327ft tall in the text.
I noticed the same thing
Yeah, that was a Copy & Paste error, right?
please look again, maybe its been corrected
I think he's high hell
It’s not the only ridiculous mistake that exists on screen. At 9:00 they showed “27,37 FT” for the width and for the same tree “42 158 SQFT” in volume. And Papa, u can’t *update* (change, alter, edit in any way) videos on KZhead.
If they had never cut trees in the past can you imagine how big trees would be today. these are amazing
@John LaFever We have had alternatives for framing timber for decades now. Plantation timber, hemp, steel and concrete have all been available. Old growth deforestation in the world is now occurring at critical and unsustainable levels, mostly to due to multinational corporations need for land. Palm oil, soy and beef pasture being the the main drivers. And after all that.. Guess what? We still have war, poverty, famine and homeless people. Seems pretty backwards to me.
I did mean to say logging tree was bad I was saying can you imagine how big the tree would be my husband work with the US forest service to logging tree that needed to come down
I think you mean how much more beautiful and how many new species would have been created with out humans negative impact.
@John LaFeverIf your family has been growing hemp( I take my hat off to you btw) you would know that there are many different Cannibas strains. Some better for medicinal(high THC), some better for industrial(close to zero THC). You would also know the reasons why the plant was made illegal. It wasn't because of it's THC. However, all that being said.. How do you figure most countries protect their old growth forests? Where did you see that in the video? Do you know what is going on in South America? In Malaysia? Indonesia? Africa? You said it yourself with your reference to mass farming as an ecological disaster. Mining for steel and clearing land for farm is certainly an issue, but if it is done properly, there is no reason it can't be done sustainably. What is going on in these countries.. The industrial scale clearfelling of tropical rainforests(earths critical biosystems) for palm oil, beef and soybeans.. It will be the end of us.
Yea...at least six foot taller...
Saw that tree in Canada on Vancouver island. Wow, so high! Highlight of the tour! We pass the tree mentioned in New Zealand as it's near where we live. We have to pass it to get to our holiday home!
That was incredible. The rainbow eucalyptus and Japanese Wisteria blew my mind. Ironically,I own a collection of Bonsai!!!! 😂
We need to plant 🌱 millions of trees 🌲 and put down our phones for a few hit the woods..🦠😷 relax mode
Groovy man, you got any lsd...........?(🥴) Man,
@@monkeyhaters9258 : I think that on one of his acid binges, he must have done 10,000 Micrograms in one single particular dose. That's probably more than enough, to trigger likely insanities, of a permanent nature.
Since you weren’t just doing the tallest , I was hoping you’d mention the General Sherman
I figured General Sherman would be #1.
Me too
Allow me to point out... General Sherman was a WHITE man. No doubt B.L.M. and other White hating groups are already getting their chain saws and other devices of destruction ready for the bringing down of this monument to White Supremacy.
General Sherman is the Giant Sequoia, a redwood same as coastal redwood or hyperion. They are redwoods/sequoias but grown in different areas. General sherman is thicker but not taller than hyperion. Hyperion is slimmer than giant sequoia but taller.
@@tagoldich it is the record holder for worlds largest...makes you wonder how they composed the list....
The floating Christmas tree in Rio is man made and shouldn't count.
@@quentonfisher4013 That's not even a tree; let alone living. It's just a piece of structure or at highest; an architecture.
But it still is a tree it’s just not living 😷
@Nod Melon look up the definition of a tree nod😷
Thankee we didn't actually mean it
I agree. It's ridiculous to include it in this list.
Many years ago my family and I spent a few days in the redwoods in California,it was the most ethereal spiritual experience I’d ever had …..to quite part of a poem by Joyce Kilmer ,” I think that I shall never see a poem as lovey as a tree” this was a lovey post.
Nice that you witnessed that before they are all killed.
@@sharonhamilton9496 I know right I hope you’ve been able to see them if not put them on your bucket list they are truly breath taking
Just came back from a trip there and saw the redwoods! They are breathtaking! It was my bucket list to see these, from even the song: “ This land is your land!” So peaceful and agree it is ethereal! I loved how the sun ☀️ peaks in between. Just gorgeous! Hope to visit again one day🙏☺️
@@evyj4918 aren’t they glad you were able to,see them 😘😘
The Mayan civilization was in the Yucatan (southern Mexico and northern Central America)... Not in South America.
South of the USA.
Red Q you know Mexico is part of North America right?
@@redq1641 WAY South.
#10 Tane Mahuta is so beautiful I recommend any1 to see him, it's worth it. Mauri Ora from NZ.
WOW you are doing so great on your job to do this 👏
Beautiful trees 🌲 I wonder if these where the first trees 🌲 that started the tree 🌲 lines roots? If they are they needs to be saved?
I thought I was going to see the 15 largest trees in the world but they completely left out the largest! The General Sherman Tree in California! A Sequoia tree!
I agree! Can't believe that anyone else has not mentioned it.
Yes of course; also the Tule tree in Mexico, also the Angel Oak, a giant live oak near Charleston, also certain Banyan trees--puzzling
Yeah, but you gotta walk up a hill for 2 minutes to see it. Oh, the agony.
And yet it's the one shown at the beginning of the video, without identifying it.
I think the channel was looking for the tallest trees. General Sherman isn't the *tallest* tree (about 270ft {82.3 metres}) but it is the most *massive* tree in the world with a diameter of about 40ft {12.4 metres} at its base.
Mother nature is magnificent there maybe more bigger trees that we don't know about but these trees are just magnificent
natalie barnett downstairs there are bigger
The actual beauty of Plant earth is Nature and Tree are the art of Mother Nature.. Subhan Allah❤
Gardens and flowers were so damn awesome in Tokyo...Not a sprig of grass out of place....they loved seeing Americans and many came up to us in public...all interested in us and so humble. I found it interesting that when we were entering the subway system they had what were called pushers,,,their joyb We also rode was to keep the flow of people moving and they just might shove you on your rear to speed things along...they wore while gloves!! Also spent some time in Kyoto a very, very old town that was beautiful...Quite a trip...
Would love to have seen north America 400 years ago
Hey guys... Just wanted to say congratulations on getting Charlie Sheen to be the narrator of your videos!!! That's freaking awesome! 😜😂😂😂😂😂
Are you hard of hearing
@@SalfordMatt whats that have anything to do with anything? 🙄🤦
OMG the rainbow eucalyptus trees are BEAUTIFUL!!!
Well information. Good show. Well information.
WOW!! I never knew that they were trees that big. AMAZING!!
Some Tasmanian Mountain Ash have been recorded and documented at over 400 feet
Douglas Fir's have hit 465 ft tall.. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nooksack_Giant
I live in an area that was once covered with giant Douglas fir trees. Unfortunately, they were almost all cut down for lumber. The second growth trees in the woods near my home are pretty big, but nothing compared to what is hinted at by the remnant stumps. It's sad that no attempt was made to preserve at least some of those giant trees.
Greed. Greed
There's evidence of trees much much bigger than the biggest we've found. Like the giant flat top mound in Wyoming... Looks exactly like a tree cut down yet it's like 3 or 400 meters wide. It's not the only one. I think back when life was much much bigger, not sure what era that was but dinosaurs, bugs, plants, etc.. were MASSIVE. bears and lions 4 times the current size.. so why not trees? I think they were either killed and burnt up by the cataclysm or cut down and covered up by govt. There's pictures of 60 to 100 dudes standing on stumps of cut down Giants. Pictures from way back when photography was new. There's more to this tree thing then we know
So terribly sad 😪
@@rlbrown1009 agree!!!!!!!!!!!!
the saddest part is they didn't NEED the biggest trees...they could have gotten by fine with taking trees that would have been easier to cut and haul and still be large enough to make any board or product that would have been needed at the time. Leaving the oldest and most robust growth to reproduce and regrow stronger healthier undergrowth...but yeah...cut it all....need that wealth...
Thank you that is an awesome topic that I love to watch with my lady
Our tree's used to be soo big, folk could literally live in them...little communities...how utterly cool... L0⚜️VE
Genevieve Is y
They were called ewoks .......? From Star Wars🧙♂️😖
Um the trees used to be so big entire valleys and mou n tain ranges rested under them. See devils tower!
8:22 - "At a height of 460 feet..." is about 150 feet of exaggeration. "The Juggernaut" (a California Coast Redwood) is verified at 309 feet tall. "Hyperion" is the tallest tree ever recorded (the last tree featured in this video), and is also a California Coast Redwood (Sequoia Sempervirens). Hyperion is verified at just under 380 feet tall (379.1ft). No need to exaggerate when these trees are taller than the length of a football field and can live well over 2,000 years.
Avenue of the Giants!
Trees are truly magnificent.
How beautiful our trees are, the really big ones should be preserved for ever.
