The height of the Australian almond eucalyptus can reach more than 150 meters (the tallest one measured so far is 156 meters), and this giant of world plants deserves to wear the crown of the tallest tree. The almond eucalyptus drinks a lot of water, just like a "water pump". If it is planted in a swamp, it will soon drain the water. Amazingly, although this giant is tall, its seeds are incredibly small, with dozens of seeds combined being no larger than a grain of rice.

Second is the Canadian Douglas fir. In 1902, a scientist measured a Douglas fir in Canada, and its height was an astonishing 126.5 meters. A sequoia tree still growing in the Sequoia National Park in the United States is also 112 meters tall. This arboreal giant welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors each year who come to admire it.
The tallest tree in our country should be the "Wangtian Tree". In 1975, Chinese scientific workers discovered an extremely tall tree in the virgin forest of Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province. Its canopy surpasses that of other trees by twenty or thirty meters, and from afar, it looks like a crane landing among chickens. Measurements show that this tall broadleaf tree reaches heights of sixty to seventy meters, with the tallest exceeding 80 meters, making it the tallest among China's thousands of tree species. Because this tree is so tall, when people look up at its canopy, it feels like looking at the sky, hence the name "Wangtian Tree" given by people.
