The endless irrelevant jump cuts. Two second cuts with images of stuff you’re not even talking about. Great subject, crap presentation.
Some VERY beautiful trees here!
With this video I've learned about many trees I didn't know about before. Excellent documentary. Thank you!!!
I'm from California, but I'm thrilled that there is a place where we can preserve those majestic trees, even if it's in another country. I seriously don't want to see these beautiful trees disappear.
I’m just wondering why did they move it
@@spontaneouslife205 climate change.
Great information but the footage did not correspond
Thanks for the information. As a native of California, I was aware of the huge redwoods and sequoias there but knew nothing about giant trees in Tasmania. Equally important to the huge individual trees are stands of old growth trees. Sadly, few of these remain in the United States; most of the trees have been cut down by loggers.
I love trees !! ❤❤
Believe in One God. God don't eat or drink He is not born nor He tastes death and there is nothing like Him. It is idolatry worshipping created things over Creator.
What I love is how so many varieties of trees can grow next to each other and grow so beautifly , each giving grace , tall and elegance our anasters took such good care of them so we can enjoy them and pass them on for our future generations !! ❤ !!
Me too!. We humans cut down 5 billion trees a year globally. So so sad that is.
Love this video And these trees! Thank G-d Almighty.Blessed be He and his incredible grace and wisdom!(omen!)
Failed to mention the gigantic Red Tinglewood trees of Western Australia, the Victorian (Australia) alpine Ash tree can grow in excess of 400 ft in height, making it one of the tallest flowering trees in the world. I guess there are many wonderous trees in the world not mentioned, but perhaps rather than mentioning numerous individual Red Sequoia trees the video could have included other wonderous trees from around the world. I found the narrative a bit repetitious as in a broken record. It could have been done much better, but thanks for making the video.
There's an incredible underground forest in South Africa that lives just below the soil so that it can withstand repeated wildfires. I don't even know the species. It's in Rachel Sussman's book, The Oldest Living Things in the World.
Umm 380ft is the tallest tree in the world. Nothing over 400ft. Let's not exaggerate stuff here.
@@Brisco_County_Jr I guess I am quoting scientists, who is your source.(;-))
@edwinflynn9744 well you aren't and the source is a quick search where in multiple legit sites say 380ft is the tallest tree. Smithsonian, National Geographic....take a pick. The tree you mention tops out at 300ft. That's a far cry from 400.
@@Brisco_County_Jr Yes indeed. The number 4 is next to the number 3 so I must have pressed the wrong button. Hard to concede a typographical error when it stared me in the face. But yeah our flowering gums can grow to amazing heights. So many have been cut down that although there are many magnificent tree remaining, we really do not know how big some that have been cut down were. PS our tallest gum trees (eucalypts) are still growing so who's to tell what the limit is.
Michigan had giant trees all over. The logging industry destroyed all the huge trees here. While residing my home there was one board that was over 4’ Wide x 8 ‘ long on the side of my home. Not a plywood sheet , but an actual milled piece from a giant tree.
I hope you kept that board.
@@eliwood2328 It’s still on my house .
Those Redwoods are fkn awe inspiring & makes you think about the cycles this Planet has seen!!!
Yeah they claim the oldest Kauri tree is the oldest tree in the world at "approximately 2,000 years old
Waipoua Forest, Northland & Bay of Islands This forest is the home of Tāne Mahuta, the country's largest kauri tree, which is approximately 2,000 years old and still growing." Except I know there are various American trees that are older, For example "Muir Snag is believed to be the oldest redwood tree in the world. Muir Snag is estimated to be more than 3,500 years old, but is no longer living. Although the tree is dead, it is still standing in the Converse Basin of the Giant Sequoia National Monument in Sierra Nevada, California." Then there's "Our park also features the remains of the famous Prometheus tree, a Great Basin Bristlecone pine once recorded as the oldest tree in the world, estimated between 4700-5000 years-old." So yes this video's interesting however.......................................
That was not a baboon. You're not fooling me. 19:16
Lmfao I literally just paused this here after that happened and just lost my shit now I'm here in the comments waiting for someone to also acknowledge it. The internet never lets me down. 😂😂😂😂
@@TheMrDarius Lmao!
Pretty fucked up honestly
@@Mr.Fixit.Atlantapretty hilarious
The world's largest coast redwood by volume, the 320-feet tall, 26 feet in diameter Lost Monarch can be found in the Grove of Titans, a legendary stand of ancient conifers in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park.
The Jedi yes truely star Wars.
Hey! We really don't want tourists stomping our precious Redwood forests.
Thanks for the interest, however.
Hyperion is 380 feet and it's the tallest in the world. It's a coast redwood.
Wow whoever was doing the editing in this video really knew what they were doing when they were talking about the seed pods from The Baobab Tree being a favorite of baboons and then directly cutting to a Bushman eating one you know you did that on purpose bud
I just wanta make sure you all know how much of a tree's atoms are derived from the soil. At most about 1%. All the rest of it is weaved out of nothing but air and water. Photosynthesis is incredibly amazing. That's why they say only God can make a tree.
Just cuz "they" say it doesn't make it true. It's simply nature. Naturally.
@@bryanhuseboe539 I agree.
They making those large trees. It's true dude.
@@RoderickEmanuel Some trees are bred. But that isn't what is meant by making a tree.
OMG the narration is ridiculously dramatic and repetitive. If you're going to produce an information video get the information right. They measure the width of the trees by CIRCUMFERENCE not diameter.
Believe in One God. God don't eat or drink He is not born nor He tastes death and there is nothing like Him. It is idolatry worshipping created things over Creator.
@@qasimalmani647 OH MY GOD ! THERE'S NO ESCAPE !
@@qasimalmani647 it says in the ten commandments, put no god before me. That tells me that there is more than one god.
@@randal_gibbonsit refers to false idols or false gods! There is only one true God!
@qasimalmani647 There are a bunch of different faiths claiming to follow the 1 true god, which one is it?
They can't ALL be right, right? But they COULD all be wrong... what a dilemma
Good documentary, but you could stick to your starting measurements; meters and feet. You switch from stating both to stating either feet or meters, even in the middle of a sentence 🤔. Don't be lazy. Use both all the way through or pick one and stick with it. Be consistent. It's not the narrator's fault; it's the writers.
Not to mention he keeps saying diameter and must mean circumference
A planet with a large population of such grandfather trees would be totally different to the planet you see today as they would have dictated the under story beneath, that of the flora and fauna in ways we are unable to experience in our time....! We should remember that the presence of trees also increases the surface area of natural environments thus increasing the amount of biodiversity that environment can support meaning such trees supported carbon capture beyond themselves by sustaining a larger variety and volume of life forms...
Video is too hard on the eyes but a great subject.
ok fine ... but why some shots of the same trees are repeated all over this video under different tree species!?
Exactly soo confusion 😅😅he shouldn't repeat like that
I lived up North for about 8 years and I saw that tree it is huge it is definitely a wonderful and I'm so glad it didn't get clear-cut with everything else
Not the tallest but the oldest dinosaur tree found in an Australian nsw park Wollemi Pine now grown world wide
What about the cedar trees of Lebanon there are some gigantic trees there and very old some of them are between 3000 - 4000 years old.
There are some Olive Trees over there that are 4000 years old.
I visited general sherman with my family years ago. My son was talking about how huge that tree was for years. He was only 3 years old when that amazing, towering sequoia burned itself into his memory for life!
Please don't place the words 'sequoia' and 'burned' that close together.
@@rogerstone3068 all the old giant sequoias & redwoods have burn scars. Fire is part of their life cycle, intense heat causes their cones to open & release seeds, & fire clears away forest shrubs & debris to allow their seeds to reach the soil & start sprouting.
@@rogerstone3068 fire is a critical part of the giant sequoia & the coastal redwood lifecycle. The intense heat from a forest fire is what signals the cones to open & release their seeds, which can take root & grow on the forest floor, which has been cleared of debris by the fire so sunlight now reaches the forest floor. Old redwoods & sequoias have survived many cycles of fire.
Sad part is that there are loggers/logging companies that would cut the rest of them down for a week's pay. Other than the redwoods in California, there are only a very few specimens remaining of old growth Douglas firs in Oregon and Washington. There are literally none of the tens of thousands of HUGE trees that used to exit. Special thanks to Weyerhaeuser and Simpson for making sure that no one ever gets to see these beautiful trees again.
I've visited the Redwood Tree enclave in Northern California: truly majestic!
I used to live in the Olympic rainforest and the foothills of the Cascades had what was probably a 4/500 year old Douglas fir on my property and I've seen a lot of big trees but with all the logging that went on I suspect we're missing most of the big ones.. some of the stumps I've seen the old pictures with a few dozen loggers standing on one stump amazing I wonder how tall those trees were
The trees that are left are average in size to the truly majestic trees that were cut down. Like you said, I have seen some old photos too, one such stump had 103 men standing on it and that was in America. I'm just glad some are left for all to see.
In the Guadalupe river, above the dam, where the river starts to widen out, ther is a monster of a bald cypress. The trunk at the water level is probably 14 to 16 foot wide. The folds in its roots are so big several men could hide inside. If you live in that area, can i get a witness?
If you don't love trees, you've got a synthetic heart!
The oldest tree in the world lives in Sweden 9566 years old
THOUSANDS of years old...IMAGINE if they could talk. They would definitely have some GREAT KNOWLEDGE !!
bamboo isnt a tree, it's a grass, should've mentioned that.
as far as trees, while not as gigantic as it's western counterparts, the longfellow tree in PA is worth mentioning, as it is one of the few old growth eastern white pine trees left ... its one of the few largest white pines in the eastern u.s. and at 183 or so ft. is quite regal in it's own right for sure. its worth mentioning because there are still many natural spaces in the eastern u.s. worth conserving, the more people who have a vested interest in such, the better chance these amazing places have of still being around in perpetuity. /blahg.
Bigger than my imagination? Not bloody likely.
Right now I am imagining the Warkash trees on the Wookie planet of Kashique!!! 🖖🤠
Amazing bealterfuur tree❤❤
The two top largest trees in the world- The General Sherman tree and the General Grant tree. As a logger all my adult life I have seen these majestic trees many times....Kings Canyon National Park
When talking about a particular tree species would be very nice to show the pictures of that tree species. Throughout this video you talk about one kind of tree yet show pictures of a entirely different species. Not cool!!!
These catastrophic failures really highlight the importance of double-checking everything
The Biggest Tree in the World must be decided in terms and therefore in categories. Tallest Big. The Widest Big. The Biggest Trunk Circumference, etc. The so called biggest living tree in our town is wider trunked and shorter statured than most. It is the oldest in town but "bigger" is relative to whatever the determining factor is. It is bigger in width and age but not in height. In height the biggest tree here is a Ponderosa Pine. All things considered, all these trees are amazing.
Believe in One God. God don't eat or drink He is not born nor He tastes death and there is nothing like Him. It is idolatry worshipping created things over Creator.
@@qasimalmani647 To appreciate God's creation and to find it amazing is not worship of the thing. And why would you think you needed to enlighten me when the subject is way off topic? This kind of behavior is not of God. God said to go out and share the Gospel, to make disciples, not to shove things down people throats WITHOUT knowing if they want it or not. You are supposed to share with those WHO YOU KNOW are receptive and YOU KNOW want it and you are to shake the dust off when folks do not and add to that you are NOT to add to the command like you just did not knowing if I was a believer or not, you assumed and you over stepped and this is not the Gospel of you. This kind of rogue mission is what turns people away. Next time stay on topic and ask a question to gain discernment of God about a person. Otherwise you will just be seen as a troll of some made in your image god instead of a child of the One True God. We cannot do things out of order and expect God to bless our new design. He is the Ancient of Days, not some new follower of our designs.
I always wondered in the early days of logging in America why the loggers cut the biggest trees. They are hard to handle and usually split and blow apart when hitting the ground destroying the wood in many cases. Smaller trees easy to handle!
A large tree was find back in 1927 in The Big Bend area of Texas. Ancient redwood tree trees hat was 896 feet tall. It is petrified. Also in that area in 1971 they find The Largest Flying creature I think the wingspan was 51 feet. And remember this area was once a coastline from The great inland sea of North America. Think of a tree that measures 896 feet not kind of a root cyst, not counting the branches that top it off at a certain height. Unbelievable the size a tree that is as tall or taller than skyscraper building. The tall trees you had to have large flying creatures, that is possible as well from this particular area of the United States😳
hyperion is the tallest tree on earth. so it's fitting to say that it's hyperbole to say it's as tall as a mountain, since mountains are, generally speaking, more than 380 feet tall.
Patronising narrative for kids 🙄
This would be half as long if not for repeating itself.
I love trees, they are the ones which produce the most oxygen in our atmosphere. Deforestation can become a big issue, destruction of land and ecosystems, and is also a good cause in changing weather patterns, because of rain forests, they are basically the earth’s barometer and when deforestation occurs, the weather patterns do change, because the loss of land becoming dryer and not enough water to sustain it for very long, plus the soil is poorer and NOT good for growing crops either, mostly because there is NOT enough diversity and of the nutrients in the ground/soil and cannot hold crops for very long, besides all this, including the loss of the variety of species, habitats and ecosystems that thrive in them, all becoming less than before the deforestation. If all our forests succumb to humanity’s greed, where will our future generations become affected in this world? 😢. Trees give shelter, food, and various other things, but oxygen is its own primary gift to us with all those who use it. Plants take in carbon dioxide which we exhale, including all other species, mammals, even fish, etc., and we inhale Oxygen which plants produce and provide us with air to breathe. It is a balance that cannot be broken, if so, nothing will survive without the other species…all are dependent upon the other, all are equal and connected together. It’s just only in how you observe the facts that shows how lucky we are in having this planet as our home instead of somewhere else in space. Life is abundant here and tied together like no where else in the universe. 👍❤️🙏🏼
@@AngelCatBaby the oldest Olive trees have been feeding families and lighting homes for children for 200 generations or better.
When I was a child we celebrated Arbor day and planted millions of trees but since global warming this holiday is discouraged. Weird.
I’d have to disagree, it’s actually phytoplankton that produces the most 02 in the world, I do however share your sentiment for trees.
great comment the world needs many more like you.
nope. algae in the oceans produce most oxygen.
get your facts straight
I love trees, btw
19:18 its seeds are a favorite snack for baboons(shows african) 19:20 while elephants get the water(shows elephant)
40 years ago I witnessed cedar trees in Washington that took 3 trucks to haul 1 tree. Easily 10' diameters made into cedar shakes, which are now illegal. Restaurants were advertising spotted owl burgers, their nemesis.
There is no mention of the NZ Kauri {agathis Australis}. the biggest tree known of this species was Kairaru named by Maori. It had a girth of 80 feet and was 90 foot to the first branch. The thing with Kauri is that the frunk does not taper and is straight so the wood mass is huge. Kairaru was blown down during cyclone at the turn of the 19th century and the trunk caught fire a number of years later during a forest fire . It apparently burned / smouldered for a year and was gone. Kauri were heavily logged and the all the really big ones have been removed. There are however a couple of good sized ones left that are dated as old as 2,200 years.

I visited the General Sherman Sequoia, it’s a massive tree. Not until you see it face to face do you realise how big it is.
The bamboo plant is the most useful to mankind, not on height but beauty, food and thousands of uses.
The Monkeypod tree looks like a giant Mimosa tree!
I read that 350 million years ago, trees grew anywhere from 11 to 100 miles high. They were enough to make giant sequoias look like matchsticks. This fact is known by studying the miles-wide width of plateaus, which are fossilized tree stumps.
It is somewhat ironic that the resin produced by many of these huge trees, to protect them from disease, makes them particularly susceptible to fire.
Here in Pennsylvania, close to Ohio, I was out walking one time and walked into a small glade surrounded by some very large trees. They did not compare with the trees on here, but I estaimated them (mostly oaks) of going back close to our American revolution. Smaller trees around them are probably new since the second growth.
The guy I knew amonst my acquaintances that liked this kind of stuff was sure interested in my little story. But, he wanted to know the location, and I supposed it to be because he was a scout for timbering and coal mining operations. I held back from telling him. I'd just as soon see old growth forest. Someone will no doubt cut it, but it would not be because of me.
Baobabs actually are found in Madagascar. The bottle tree and upside down tree is other names. But I didn't know that they grew in the savannas of Africa.
There are more than 1 baobab species including one in Africa. Amazing trees with surprising variety.
Wow...trees can live longer than people...
Lots of organisms can live longer then people
How come the world's largest Banyan trees are not part of this list? American ignorance of large parts of the world? The largest banyan trees cover dozens of acres under a single canopy, dropping roots which support it like pillars
This video's music has some serious Skyrim vibes
The Monkey Pod reminds me of the similar prosoprius (not sure if this spelling is correct) trees that I knew on a farm in Namibia. We children collected the pods as sheep fodder. When the pods were young, they were green, reasonably tender, and sweet, and we used to snack on them while picking. I think its flowers were pale yellow.
Incredible trees 🌲 California has many of them
I THOUGHT THE PHOTOSHOPPED ONE AT 24:24 WAS THE BIGGEST. W.T.F. ?

How does a tree pump water from deep in the ground , up as much as 100 meters to its leaves ?
Capillary action.

The video qualifies General Sherman as the largest single trunk tree otherwise the Aspen is the oldest and largest in multi trunk as an Aspen grove is one tree growing new saplings from the root shoots rather than seed ... 👀
I SUSPECT at one time ! ( I'm sure none exist today ) But at one time in the past. I would not be surprised if some trees. The oldest of old Forest In prehistory. There were trees that probably grew to over a 1000" / there's circumference May have been close to 300" to 500".
IF YOU LOOK AT THE TOP OF DEVIL'S TOWER ! ( in pictures very closely ) You will see that it has rings in it just like a tree when it's been cut down. The tower itself. Looks like a petrified tree stuff. I believe that it is possible. That it's actually is a petrified tree stump. From back in the days of old when Giants still existed ( Nephilim ) Ironically a ways from it Is a giant steel anchor ring. That was probably used. By the Giants to help fail the tree. In those days.

It's not physically possible for a tree to be that tall......the water pressures needed to transport water from the roots to the top would be higher than any plant cells could handle by a huge amount
Just wait they'll have it cut down in no time.
Look up plantain tree in Tsagkarada village square, Pelion, Greece. I was there a few months ago. It is 1000+ years old, and (my guesstimation) 6-10m trunk diameter and 50m canope diameter .. it was extremely impressive and a hidden gem.

Your garbled post is just a word salad. Learn how to write.
There is a tree here in Thailand with a house built on just part of it .
Can you imagine back "in the day" when there were axes and hand saws the loggers would cut such trees down.? The hand saws would be double handled saws with one guy on each end. "See you next week" as they started cutting the tree down. Why are we cutting down this monster? Need pulp & paper and toothpicks. Something that could be got from smaller trees, but it is just the "challenge".
redwood is sort of rot resistant. used to be used for window sash and wood siding. just because we don't need them today does not equate with the preplastic days and the pressure of a rapidly growing population in 1900
They cut down the Mark Twain and hauled it to the East Coast because people there didn't believe a tree could get that big.

Baobab seeds are main source food to humans in arid regions not baboons.
Seeing as the minimum height for a landfiom to qualify as a mountain is 2000 or 610 meters the Eatth's tallest tree only has 1620 more to grow. In another 4 to 5 thousand years it might get close. The tallest tree is Hyperion not hyperbole.

Can you Imagin what the Forests of America were. Before the white man showed up? It must have been Glorious.
And yet other areas were void of trees and covered in grass which now have trees.
