  • Ive been there:)

  • hey, ill race you to the top, lol

  • not completley

  • And Tasmania is the site of one of the rare achievements of completely successful genocide.

  • Would you rather let them all rot than log any, so people can live in houses made of wood, read a book or a newspaper, or print a picture of these trees.

    I live on 5 acres of land that was clear-cut many years ago and I have fir trees approaching 4 feet through.

    I've had people think my trees are first growth.

    One of these trees is about 30 inches at the base and the first limb is 100 feet up.

    It is arrow straight.

    Sure we need to preserve some, but the fact is, they are dying.

  • where are these "giant redwoods?" (seems a little redundent :)

  • apart for clear cutting virgin forest which is heinous act in itself, its very sad how stupid ignorant people cut such beautiful giants and creatures for the dumbest and most idiotic reason..leave the dam old tree alone..it took thousands of years for it to grow..have some respect for the old man lol.

    And this will be our legacy in the future. There we will have nothing to be proud soon. Our destructiveness stupidity and selfishness is all we will have left for ourselves on our ravaged planet

  • douglas firs also reached those heights before they were cruelly cut.

    im just curious how tall a sequoia would grow if under ideal conditions and without lighting cutting off their tops

  • 375 feet (114 m) is exceptionally tall, but by no means the tallest E. Regnans in that area in those days. In 1889 John Rollo (a local land holder and miner) mentioned a tree in the South Yarragon range (about 5 miles NW of Thorpdale) which was felled by a Mr. Dickinson while clearing his land and was measured at 410 ft (125 m) long to a burnt top!

  • It's really sad that we can't find even one E. Regnans today that stands over 350 feet. In 1890 at Thorpdale there was still unbroken forest with many trees reaching AVERAGE canopy of 365 ft (111 m) and only 6-7 ft thick at breast height, and 250-275 ft to the first branch! George Cornthwaite measured a big one at Thorpdale at 375 ft tall, and only 6 ft diameter 12 feet from the ground! This tree was accurately measured when standing with transit/Theodilite, and after it was felled.
