Very large Mountain Ash stump


Mountain Ash, originally uploaded by Denis Fox.

They say that the tallest trees in recorded history were some Mountain Ash trees (Eucalyptus Regnans) that were cut down in Australia over a century ago. The trees were measured after they were cut down and would have had a standing height of around 130 meters. The tallest trees living today are only 113 meters.
