00:14 Number 10. Rulla Longotil

00:21 The world's largest eucalyptus regnans tree species, Rulla Longotil, which means "strong

00:29 woman" is situated near Javistown, Southern Tasmania, Australia. The volume of its trunk

00:36 is approximately 370 cubic meters, making it Australia's second largest tree by volume

00:44 of the trunk. The height of this super tall tree is about 83 meters.

00:49 Number 9. Kermendi Queen

00:55 Standing at 77 meters tall and with a girth of almost 22 meters, Kermendi Queen is probably the

01:03 largest tree in Australia. This 400-year-old veteran has a calculated wood volume of 340

01:11 cubic meters. This tree got burned during the January 2019 fires. The Kermendi Queen

01:19 got burned so severely that it shed large branches that were the size of typical trees themselves.

01:26 Number 8. Arvbig Tree

01:31 About 10 kilometers from the town of Javistown stands tall the Arvbig tree,

01:38 easiest of all giant trees to visit. This 500-year-old tree weighs about 405 tons,

01:45 is 87 meters tall, and the massive trunk holds 360 cubic meters of wood. The surrounding trees

01:54 in its prime are like scrawny babies next to a Yokozuna. It is also a survivor. The 1967 fires

02:03 swept through this area and killed many similar-age giant trees. But luckily, the Arvbig

02:10 tree was just too large to bring it to ashes. The tree and the surrounding areas were preserved

02:16 in the 1980s. Number 7. Chiwot Giant

02:23 Canada's largest tree, the Chiwot Giant, also known as the Chiwot Lake Cedar, is protected

02:32 within Pacific Rim National Park Reserve on Vancouver Island in Canada. This largest living

02:39 western red cedar has a diameter of 20 feet and stands 182 feet tall. Taking a trip to this massive

02:48 tree is very cool. The trail is not very used and it passes by some other red cedar trees of epic

02:55 proportions as well. Number 6. Douglas Fir Tree

03:03 This Red Creek Fir is a thousand-year-old Douglas Fir tree located in the San Juan Valley

03:10 of Vancouver Island in Canada. Red Creek Fir is the largest Douglas Fir on Earth by volume.

03:17 It was measured to have a height of 74 meters. This tree blew down in a storm in the winter of

03:26 1985, due to which the tree and a small surrounding tree stand currently receive protection through an

03:34 old growth management area to conserve forests and nature reserve. Number 5. Tane Mahura

03:42 Tane Mahura is a giant kauri tree located in the Waipua Forest of Northland Region in New Zealand.

03:52 This tree is 516 cubic meters in volume, making it the fifth largest tree in the world by volume.

04:01 Tane Mahura, also known as the God of Forest, is about 2,500 years old and the biggest kauri

04:10 known to stand. The tree is a remnant of the ancient subtropical rainforest

04:16 and is named from the Maori god of forest and of birds.

04:21 Number 4. Arbol del Chile

04:23 El Arbol del Chile, located inside a gated churchyard in the picture-square town

04:30 of Santa Maria, del Chile is the widest tree in the world. The Chile tree may not be the tallest

04:39 of the oldest trees in the world, but definitely has the widest grid from all of them. The local

04:47 Zapotecs like to joke that the Chile shares some of their characteristics. It is short,

04:54 only 35 meters in height, it is stout, 54 meters in circumference, and it's old, about 1,500 years

05:03 in age. The Chile tree is still growing today. Number 3. Grogan's Fault

05:12 Grogan's Fault, also known as Grogan's Fault, is the world's eighth biggest tree,

05:20 the largest single-stemmed coast redwood and was found in Redwood National Park in 2014

05:28 by Chris Atkins and Mario Waden. The total trunk volume of this massive tree is about 38,299 cubic

05:38 feet. The other high-volume redwoods along the coast include Louveteur, with a main trunk volume

05:46 of 36,470 cubic feet. Number 2. Lost Monarch

05:55 The largest multi-stemmed coast redwood, Lost Monarch, is situated in the Jetsmith Redwood Park

06:03 in Northern California. Hidden in a dense forest of redwood trees, Lost Monarch was found in 1998.

06:11 This tree is hard to visit because in order to protect the ecosystem around this tree

06:18 from human traffic, no trail has been created in this dense forest.

06:22 The main trunk volume of this huge tree is 34,914 cubic feet.

06:32 And finally, Number 1. General Sherman

06:36 The biggest tree in the world, General Sherman is a giant sequoia tree growing in the Tulare

06:44 County in the National Park of California. The General Sherman is 25 feet wide and 274 feet tall.

06:54 The most unbelievable fact is that it sprouted around the same time as the ancient Roman

07:01 civilization started 2,700 years ago. Now, it is a very popular tourist destination in the state of

07:10 California.
