Ponderosa pine over 260 feet tall
One of the world's tallest pines in a grove where we found several exceptional Pinus ponderosa trees in 2011 including a new world height record for Pinus ponderosa. The tallest is now over 270 feet. Oregon's largest Ponderosa pine is in the same vicinity. The forest West of Merlin, Oregon - mdvaden.com/pine_tallest.shtml

    There are only approximately 80,000 giant sequoias left in their nato range habitat native, in the United Kingdom we have approximately 400,000 giant sequoias planted here. I plan to make that 400,002 Giants Sequoias quite soon. I see it as a backup population for the native population up in the hills of California.

    • @TallTreesClub

      That would be a nice addition for the UK. There should be a couple million planted in the USA outside the native range, but I don't think anyone is completing a full inventory. I passed about 250 of them the other day between home and a residence I was pruning at about 25 minutes from here. I think the UK climate is similar to parts of Oregon here.

      DBH diameter equals diameter averaged. So the circumference divided by 3.14 is how that's calculated. DBH is the standard common for many tree registries and urban inventory lists.

    Phenomenal! How do you think these would go in a subtropical climate? I live near Brisbane, Australia, and I have 3 (so far) Coast Redwoods going great, but they are much more suited to my climate than the Giants. We get around 36in of rain annually, the majority of which is in summer, with highs around 80-90F in summer and lows hovering around freezing in winter, with usually only a handful of hard frosts. I have a few acres and I'm creating a forest near a creek, to trap moisture and keep summer temps down in that area. I have English and Pin Oaks, Swamp Cypress, Maple, and a few Coast Redwoods so far. I really want to add some Giant Redwoods but I feel our summers are too warm and humid (think far SE USA). There are some growing only 20 minutes away from me, but they are 1,500ft higher up than where I am with cooler temps and higher rain year round!

    They have not updated their website or any of these videos in a few years. I wonder if any new discoveries have been made since its 2024 and they are talking about 2020 at the latest. I am so curious if they truly found a giant with more wood volume than general sherman. Hailstorm is listed as the largest coast redwood, but it's only the 4th largest tree being exceeded by General sherman, general grant, and president tree still.

    • @TallTreesClub
      @TallTreesClub 9 місяців тому

      You are mistaken, probably reading an anonymous site with no contact information and riddled with various fake information. Hailstorm is a champion hemlock, not a redwood. So you are off track about species, let alone size, etc.. That's what can happen when people read and believe online content from complete unknowns who can't be verified or fact checked. Also, the redwood cluster you seem to be referring to is not a redwood, but 3 redwoods. Several people have photographed it and the back side in particular shows all 3 trunks clearly visible. So even by any other name, it's not even the 10th biggest single biggest coast redwood. If clusters are to be included, then the double titan in the Grove of Titans is greatly wider diameter and probably bigger.

    These trees are absolutely amazing! However I see ZERO reason to downplay Giant Sequoia. First off, the largest Giant Sequoia are no longer standing (Father of the Forest and Mother of the Forest were bigger than General Sherman). Secondly, Sierra Redwood reach 3200+ years in age. That is IMPRESSIVE. And Sierra Redwood have reached 316 feet in height so while not the tallest, it's nothing to sneeze at!

    • @TallTreesClub

      To call facts "down playing" means hiding new facts and discoveries would satisfy you more. That's not how I work. My website and social media posts are aimed at furthering education. Also, coast redwoods have been ring-counted over 3000 years and historically were bigger than the other trees you mentioned. So the latter part of your reply is sort of like chasing a shadow. Your first sentence makes sense.

    • @TallTreesClub
      @TallTreesClub Рік тому

      I don't think I've seen your video, but as a Certified Arborist and redwood expert I know differences between the two genus and species. The coast redwoods are the widest and tallest growing of the two, and the Sequoiadendron are comparable for size with variation in foliage, cone, habitat. etc..

  • @planterbanter
    @planterbanter Рік тому

    This tree is completely enormous. This video inspires me a lot, both the sequoia and sequoiadendron are phenomenal trees and I hope to see many from both species thrive. It's funny how they are so often mixed up even though they are different genus. I'm guessing because they are both gigantic!!! Did you know there are written journals of eucalyptus Australia (Victoria, NSW and Tasmania) that had several eucalyptus species with ancient old growth that was said to rival that of both the coast redwood and giant sequoia??! Sometimes, they would chop them down just to record measurements (if it was impossible to take the timber with them).... So sad and destructive. I've seen some of the old growth eucalyptus, some only 400-700 years old, and they are close in size to the coast redwood. Add on another few thousand years and I could certainly see how they could be as big. Where they grow, it's so wet, moist, nutrient rich and protected, it feels very similar to the Coast redwood habitat in Northern Cali and Oregon. Even if the eucalyptus didn't grow quite as big, the mind can't help but wonder about the many ancient groves that would be standing today if things went a little differently. I'm an Aussie that lives in Canada, so I have been lucky enough to see lots of old growth and it has been one of the most impactful things on my life. I encourage anyone who hasn't to do it. It will change your perspective on many things.

    I'm not sure I understand the point of being derogatory toward giant sequoias by calling them sino's, or whatever. They both share the same lineage and are linked through the subfamily sequoioideae. Sure, technically giant sequoias lineage is the genus sequoiadendron whereas coast redwoods are linked to genus sequoia, but if you zoom out just one more click you're talking about two plants that aren't that far apart. Giant sequoias are bigger, get over it. They're both awesome species, celebrate them.

    • @TallTreesClub
      @TallTreesClub Рік тому

      It's not derogatory but a fact. Sequoiadendron as a "Sequoia" is a Sequoia in name only. And apart from just 2 or 3 individual trees, the largest of each species are virtually identical for size volume. Meanwhile, as an arborist and expert on redwoods, the rest you wrote is common knowledge. But if you find something original you care to share, record it on video and share the link sometime.
