Down here in New Zealand we have Tāne Mahuta, the oldest Kauri tree in the country. It isn't as tall as the trees on this list(45m), but is estimated to be between 1250 and 2500 years old.
The tallest trees are Kahikatea(white pine), which grow to be up to 69 meters. I've seen these in person and they are completely breathtaking. The soft wood was used for butter boxes as it does not taint food. Rimu trees, which have subjectively the most beautiful heartwood in the world, grow for about 500-600 years before they are large enough to be logged. Nowadays you need a special permit to cut them down, along with many other natives simply because they grow so slowly. It's amazing to see all these different trees and forests from different parts of the world that you never see in person, and you gain a better appreciation for the world around you. Thanks for the video.

I must admit, living in California for 32 years, I am truly lucky to had visited all of the big tree forests. The size of these trees are just surreal! Thanks to these trees and my research about them for over 23 years I realize that our Earth Realm is really more than meets the eye!!

I hiked to Hailstorm yesterday in Jediediah state park and my mind was completely blown! Words cannot describe the experience. It was so quiet and peaceful, yet powerful and humbling.

As a caretaker of a 5000 acre forest property in NSW, Australia, I have the privilege of a little valley (50 acres) that's never been logged... there's 30 trees of mixed eucalypt species ( blue gum, tallowood, grey mahogany, brush box to name a few)over 10 metres circumference at 3mt off the ground, well over 200ft tall... giant cedar, tulipwood and native sassafras also abound.
My own private Jurassic park that I take friends to see... all are amazed.

Rising out of a Tasmanian rain forest valley way north of Centurion in a different area, there is another Eucalyptus tree, wider at the girth than the pic shown at 14:16. Took my breath away.

Absolutely stunning !!

We saw these Giants in Northern California over 30 years ago. The beauty and peace is overwhelming.

Hopefully man will keep his dirty hands off of them. And generations to come can enjoy them.

GENERAL SHERMAN IS HUGE. It hurt our necks looking up lol. Glad the forest was saved from the wild fires.

Majestic trees!Beautiful living monuments!May they live more, more and more years(centuries if possible)!

My wife and I visited the Mariposa Grove years ago. We had the Grizzly Giant to ourselves one morning. Incredible. You stand there looking up at it imaging how many civilizations have come and gone since it was just a sapling... over 2, 000 years ago.
