Lets talk tall today.

In 1872, trained forester William Ferguson, reported a fallen Eucalyptus Tree (Eucalyptus regnans), which was 18 feet in diameter and 435 feet long thus making it the tallest (or longest) tree ever found.
The world's tallest living standing tree, a Redwood {Sequoia gigantea} named Hyperion, is in Redwood National Park located in California. Last measured in October 2006, it was approximately 379 foot 1 1/2 inches {almost 38 stories} tall, or approximately 6 stories higher than the Statue of Liberty.
The world's tallest living standing tree, other than a Redwood {Sequoia gigantea}, is a 327 foot high Douglas Fir {Pseudotsuga menziesii} named Ray Doerner, located in Coos Bay, Oregon. It would make more than 60,000 board feet of lumber.
