This is likely to be the tree we were searching for last week.
The talk is this plant is around 70 metres tall. It's possible, but the top of the tree is out of sight, due to the rainforest canopy blocking the view.
We found another larger tallowwood further up the hill and to the left.
The tallest tree in New South Wales is probably this species.
Tallowwood often grow on rainforest margins, in good soils in high rainfall areas. Because the rainforest trees obscure a view of the top part of the tree, conventional measurement is impossible. The only way is to either chop it down or for the tree to be climbed.
Estimated height, anywhere between 45 and 70 metres tall.

On Easter weekend a group of us camped at the Carmanah/Walbran valley and did some hiking and relaxing. The weather was amazing and we took full advantage of it.
Brenna, Kendra and I wandered down into the Randy Stoltmann Grove to check out some of the huge Sitkas. Just as we rounded the corner the sun dipped below the tree tops sending gorgeous golden light streaming through the grove. We hung out in awe for an hour as the sun set watching the rays flow between the branches; the sun was backlighting the ferns making them glow a deep green while the wings of the few bugs that were out were sparkling amongst the moss covered trees. The colours were incredible and this amazing warm breeze kept brushing past us. These words and the above photo truly don't do justice to the scene - you really need to feel it to truly experience it.
My Scotty and my Lara, at Avenue of the Giants. We forgot to cuddle up to some of the earlier, larger trees, so this was actually one of the smaller ones!
MacMilan Park, or well known as Cathedral Grove, is a protected old grow forest on Vancouver island. Ypu will found around 2.5 km of nice trail and it is in the morning before the opening and the tourist rush, that you will have the park for your self and take awesome pics of one of the last ancient forest in Canada, if it not in North America.

Here's the famous General Sherman Tree AKA the largest tree in the world. It's crazy to think that out of the billions of trees in the world, this one is the largest. Crazy.
A grove of five large eucalyptus growing in a subtropical palm rainforest.
There are dozens of similarly huge eucalyptus trees growing out of rainforests in New South Wales. Impossible to measure, as you can't see the tree top. Unless someone climbs the trees (or chops them down).
In this case, there was a gap in the canopy, which allowed a simultaneous view of the base and top of the tree.
in an uncomfortable and eerie stillness of woods ..

The Cheewhat Giant shot during a time when the B.C. forest fires were giving a distinct orange tint to everything as the sun was setting.
Back to Samuel P. Taylor SP for this shot. Had a chance to go on a hike and found this glorious Redwood Tree. The thick bark with the interwoven patterns were very intriging.
This is the second photo within my set with the title "TreeBase" (See below for the first posting). The moment I shot this new photo I knew the title because the prior shot I have such afinity towards. Not the excessive moss as the orig shot, but I think the deep thick texture to that bark makes up for it! What do U think?

On May 27 2006, while on a Business Trip to Jupiter, Florida, I visited the Flagler Museum in Palm Beach, Florida. Out in back of the Flagler Kenan Pavilion, I found this Tree with Tangled Roots.
Is it bad to have 1000's of photos from different trips that you've never even had a chance to look at?? ;)
This was one of my most memorable of the VERY "South African" experiences on my trip from last year. In photojournalistic style- I've uploaded 10 new photos.... I adore The Cape Architecture and anything thatched can win me over.... Vergelegen Winery is spectacular in all ways!... including the food and wine in the dining hall....
History from their website:
Since 1685 and to this day, the Estate has been crafted by some of the world's great explorers and visionaries, who each in their own way have helped shape Vergelegen to what it is today: a world-class Estate.
I hope you like the tour... :)

One of the most mossy place I have been in Canada, and by doing a close up of the moss on the nearest trees, I had more definition of the moss, instead of been farway, and end up with a green picture as usual.

another take on a giant river red gum - Eucalyptus camaldulensis - from the rocky moor property, central eyre peninsula, south australia
These fraudsters made you think they were giant redwoods, but really they're only medium redwoods with a shadow.
Family : Myrtaceae
Australia's NATIONAL REGISTER OF BIG TREES
At over 76.2 m this tree situated on Stony Creek Road just off the Pacific Highway just north of Bulahdelah has in the past been reported to be the tallest tree in NSW. The tree is now considered to be senescent and some sources have suggested it may have once been as high as 84metres tall. It is thought to be over 400 years old.
Recently I have heard reports of another tall tree west of Coffs Harbour located in the Cunnawarra Flora Reserve on the Northern Tablelands of NSW.
This tree,reportedly a Eucalyptus nobilis - Ribbon Gum has been measured at 79m with no trunk diameter available at this time.
This Eucalyptus nobilis was lucky to escape recent destructive winds which damaged trees as close as only 30 metres from it.
In mid July 2010 I was fortunate to be guided through dense bush and rocky escarpments to see the Woodford Tree (Eucalyptus deanei)
This tree, in the NSW Blue Mountains, is definitely not senescent and is a healthy growing tree. According to Poytr it was measured in 1978 at 78m with a trunk girth of 2.6metres at chest height. (Source Poytr's image above)
In late 2010 Poytr in the company of an expert re visited and remeasured this tree at 71 metres with the previous measurement apparently not recorded as accurately as methods today allow.
Comparative to Agathis australis,The New Zealand Kauri,both the Myall Lakes National Park's Eucalyptus grandis and Cunnawarra Flora Reserve's Eucalyptus nobilis are much taller but would definitely not match the Kauri for girth.
There are however much taller trees among the Tasmanian, Victorian and Western Australian Forests.
Information from this Weblink - TALLEST TREES IN THE WORLD suggests the Robinson Tree a Eucalyptus regnans (Mountain Ash) at Mt. Baw Baw, Victoria, Australia circa 1889 was believed to have measured 143 m (470 ft.).
The Fergusen Tree, another Australian Eucalyptus regnans, at Watts River, Victoria, was measured in 1872 after it fell after a fire. It had reportedly been estimated to be over 150 m (492 ft.) tall.
However the tallest reliably documented tree ever measured in Australia was the Thorpdale Tree, a Mountain Ash (Eucalyptus regnans) growing at Thorpdale in Victoria, Australia. The tree was measured at 112.8m (370 feet) standing and 114.3m (375 feet) on the ground after it was felled in 1884.
In 2009 the tallest living trees in Australia are in Tasmania, the tallest of which is a massive 99.6 metre high Eucalyptus regnans known as Centurian The tree is near Geevestons Tahune Airwalk.

A new world's tallest tree was discovered in California in 2006.
The tree, a Sequoia sempervirens (Coast Redwood) has been named Hyperion and was climbed and measured at 115.55m ( 379.1' ).
The video falsely claims the worlds tallest tree ever was a Douglas Fir which grew in British Coumbia Canada over 100 years ago at 122m. There seems little doubt however that Australia's 18th century Eucalyptus regans trees almost certainly were once the worlds tallest trees.
Today Eucalyptus regnans can claim to be the world's tallest flowering tree and also the world's tallest hardwood tree,if not currently having a candidate for the current world's tallest tree.
The article below graphically demonstrates that we simply cannot rely on our governments to ensure that policies are in place to prevent the tragic consequences of irresponsible or incompetant forestry management.
Tasmanian Forestry Department Burn Kills Tallest Tree
Many branches of this historic tree touch the ground.
The Birthing Tree, McMinnville, Warren County, Tennessee is said to be named for the children born under the shade of its branches to parents who were early settlers to the area arriving by wagon train.
The white oak is 81 feet tall and the crown spreads 130 feet.
