The two giant sequoia drive-through trees have both fallen: Wawona Tree, in Mariposa Grove, Yosemite National Park, fell in 1969. Pioneer Cabin Tree, in Calaveras Big Trees State Park, fell in 2017. [36] [37] [34] Two walk-through giant sequoia tunnel trees still stand: California tunnel tree in Mariposa Grove, Yosemite National Park [38]
Socratea exorrhiza, the walking palm or cashapona, is a palm native to rainforests in tropical Central and South America.It can grow to 25 metres in height, with a stem diameter of up to 16 cm, [1] but is more typically 15–20 m tall and 12 cm in diameter. [2]
Pioneer Cabin Tree fell in 2017 in Calaveras Big Trees State Park [10] But two walk-through tunnel trees still stand: California Tunnel Tree in Mariposa Grove, Yosemite National Park. The California Tunnel Tree's passageway was dug in 1895 to allow horse-drawn stagecoaches to pass through the tree. [11] Today, people can walk or bike through it.
Alectryon excelsus is a sub-canopy tree growing to 9 m (30 ft) in height. It has a twisting trunk with smooth dark bark, spreading branches and pinnate leaves. [2] Adult leaflets do not have marginal teeth or usually have very few, blunt and shallow marginal teeth and usually leaflet margins are downturned, whereas, in juvenile leaflets have leaflets with strong teeth and flat along the edges.

The coniferous Coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) is the tallest tree species on earth.. The world's superlative trees can be ranked by any factor. Records have been kept for trees with superlative height, trunk diameter (girth), canopy coverage, airspace volume, wood volume, estimated mass, and age.
Two main opposing forces affect a tree's height; one pushes it upward while the other holds it down. By analyzing the interplay between these forces in coast redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens), a team of biologists led by George Koch of Northern Arizona University calculated the theoretical maximum tree height or the point at which opposing forces balance out and a tree stops growing.
