Other researchers have developed models of maximum height for Coast Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii) trees that yield similar estimates of 109–138 meters (357–452 feet), [46] a range that includes the height of the tallest reliably-measured historical (dead) specimen, a 126-meter tree. [46] [47] [48]
[53] [54] Breast height is defined differently in different situations, with most forestry measurements taking girth at 1.3 m above ground, [54] while those who measure ornamental trees usually measure at 1.5 m above ground; [53] in most cases this makes little difference to the measured girth.
A database of over 69,000 such designated trees in the UK, detailed by genus, species, height, girth, site, county and country is maintained at the Tree Register. [3] This UK database dates back to 1620 and in 2022 completed the recording of its 250,000th tree. [4] The designations in the US are recorded in the National Register of Champion Trees.
Quercus douglasii is a medium-sized tree with sparse foliage, generally 6–20 meters (20–66 feet) tall, with a trunk 36–60 centimeters (1–2 ft) in diameter at breast height. [5] Trunks are typically solitary, but some trees have multiple trunks. [5] [8] The tallest recorded specimen was found in Alameda County, at 28.7 m (94 ft).
There are 7 other coastal redwoods known to be over 112 meters (367 feet) in height, and 222 specimens over 105 meters (344 feet). [7] There are only five species known to grow over 91 meters (299 feet) in height worldwide. [8] There are historical accounts of extremely tall and large trees.
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] It has unusual stilt roots, the function of which has been debated. Many species of epiphyte have been found growing on the palms. The palm is pollinated by beetles, and various organisms eat its seeds or ...
The Fouquieria columnaris trunk is up to 24 inches (61 centimeters) thick, off-white in color, with few or no major branches and with numerous thin, twiggy branches sticking out at right angles, all covered with small leaves 1.5–4 cm (0.59–1.57 in) long. They can grow to a height of 20 meters (almost 70 feet), but the tallest, in Montevideo ...
The cones are pendulous, slender cylindrical, 6–10 cm (2 + 1 ⁄ 2 –4 in) long [5] and 2 cm (3 ⁄ 4 in) broad when closed, opening to 3 cm (1 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) broad. They have thin, flexible scales 15–20 mm ( 5 ⁄ 8 – 3 ⁄ 4 in) long; the bracts just above the scales are the longest of any spruce, occasionally just exserted and visible ...
