The height of 465 feet would make the Nooksack Giant easily the tallest tree ever reliably recorded on the planet. Anecdotal reports do exist of other Douglas fir and mountain ash trees reaching 400 to 500 feet (122 to 152 m), such as the 435 ft (133 m) "Ferguson Tree," a Eucalyptus regnans of the Watt's river, Australia in 1872, or the 415 ft ...
The Red Creek Fir is a large Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) tree located in the San Juan Valley of Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. By volume, it is the largest known Douglas fir tree on Earth.
The Doerner Fir, also known as the Brummitt Fir, is a former record-setting Coast Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii) in Oregon, is one of the tallest known trees in the world which is not a redwood (Sequoioideae), at 325.8 feet (99.3 m).
The Queets Fir is a superlative Douglas fir about 2.5 miles from the Queets River Trail trailhead, [1] [2] on Coal Creek, a tributary of Queets River in the Olympic National Park in Washington State. It was known for fifty years, beginning in 1945, as the largest known fir by volume, and is still largest known in diameter. [3]

Environmental scientist Keith Kline locates an immature Douglas fir, indicating succession towards a conifer forest at Plot 47, during a July 2022 research expedition to Mount St. Helens.
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), [47] a range that includes the height of the tallest reliably-measured historical (dead) specimen, a 126-meter tree. [47] [48] [49]
The Lynn Valley Tree was one of the tallest known Coast Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii), at a measured height of 126.5 meters (415 ft). [1] It was cut down by the Tremblay Brothers, at Argyle Road in 1902 on the property of Alfred John Nye in Lynn Valley, now part of metropolitan Vancouver, B.C.
