The tallest trees in the world (continued, p.2) To get an idea about the size of redwood, just look at their photos. Ispolin "Del Norte Titan» («Del Norte Titan»), grows in California State Park Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park (Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park). Pay attention to the people in the lower left corner. Another giant called "Screaming Titans» («Screaming Titans») and grows in the same park. The tree called the "Screaming Titans" in the State Park Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park Del Norte Titan's height is 93.6 m, and its girth at breast height - 22,7 m. It is definitely not the tallest evergreen redwoods, but it has the second largest volume of the barrel. Wood The Lost Monarch »(« The Lost Monarch ») occupies the first place, depending on whether how to identify "a single tree."

Crohn's conical shape is the same as that of the giant sequoias, almost equally massive trunk, with reddish-brown, soft crust. Oval cones have her smaller size (2 to 3 cm). Unlike most conifers, evergreen sequoia starts to grow again after it cut down. The maximum age of these trees is probably around 2500. A serious threat from logging companies is a fast growing tree has a straight trunk and superior quality wood, which led to an intense and continuous deforestation. Wood evergreen redwoods are widely used and continues to be used in construction. About 90% of virgin forests were cut down redwoods, and their destruction is still continuing. Fortunately, most of remaining forests preserved in national and state parks, which are obviously vital for long-term conservation of these species. Start material: Read more:
