Top 10 BIGGEST Trees on Earth
On this channel, we’ve talked about a lot of big things. And when I say a lot, I mean a lot, just check out some of our previous videos and you’ll see what I mean. Largest animals, largest dinosaurs, largest fish, largest homes, and even largest vehicles, but there’s one thing we haven’t tackled yet; the largest trees. And now, to rectify that mistake, we’re going to talk about the biggest, most massive, living creatures on the entire planet. Make sure you stay tuned for number one because just looking at that tree is enough to give you vertigo. Here are 10 of the biggest trees on planet earth.

Number 10. Rullah Longatyle
Tasmanian blue gum trees, or more commonly known as the southern blue gum, is a species of tall, evergreen tree endemic to southeastern Australia. They grow especially tall, with the average specimen growing up to 148 feet tall, but they can definitely get larger, the largest of which is so huge, it required a name.
Rullah Longatyle, which actually means “strong girl”, is the largest tasmanian blue gum in the world, or should I say WAS the largest tasmanian blue gum tree in the world, but more on that later. She stood at the height of 297 feet, which already makes her one of the tallest trees in the world, but with a staggering volume of 13,000 cubic feet, it also makes her one of the largest trees ever.
Unfortunately, all those accolades are in the past, as strong girl succumbed to one of the worst natural disasters in recent memory. The recent Australian bushfires destroyed a lot of the forests in Australia, and unfortunately, no matter how strong Rullah Longatyle is, she still fell victim to the raging inferno.

Number 9. Kermandie Queen
The Kermandie Queen, a 240-foot swamp gum or mountain ash growing in a rainforest just south of Geeveston, might not be as tall as strong girl in the previous entry, but if you include its girth and crown size, Kermandie Queen just might be the largest tree in Australia. It has a circumference of 71 feet and a crown size of 82 feet.
The Kermandie Queen is located in Geeveston Tasmania, on a walking track two and a half miles west of Geeveston, and she has stood there for the past 400 years, living in a forest that also houses many of the world’s largest trees.
The Kermandie Queen is one of many high and mighty specimens protected by Forestry Tasmania’s Giant Trees policy, which seeks to identify, manage and protect tall timber at least 280 feet in height or 10,000 cubic feet in stem volume.

Number 8. The Arve Giant
The Arve Giant, also called the Arve Big Tree, is a eucalyptus regnans, or “king of the eucalypts”, had attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors in recent decades, but like many massive trees like it, it fell victim to the 2019 Australian bush fires, despite surviving past bush fires, including a pretty bad one in 1967.
It has now collapsed, and the sad image was captured by adventure photographer Steve Pierce. Before its fall, it was a contender for the world’s biggest flowering tree by volume at 12,700 cubic feet, which is roughly the equivalent volume of three Boeing 737-300s. This giant tree was 285 feet tall and had a circumference of 56 and a half feet, enough to be a contender for being the world’s largest flowering tree, but now it is just a crumpled mess.

Number 7. The Cheewhat Giant
Canada’s largest tree, the Cheewhat Giant is a western red cedar growing in a remote location near Cheewhat Lake within Pacific Rim National Park Reserve on southwestern Vancouver Island. The tree measures over 20 feet in trunk diameter, 182 feet in height, and 15,900 cubic feet in timber volume, that is equivalent to 450 regular telephone poles worth of wood. Luckily the tree, discovered in 1988, is within the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, which was created in 1971, so it’s not going to be tuned into telephone poles, or worse, toothpicks, anytime soon. Unfortunately, not every tree within the area may not be so lucky.
Satellite photos show that about 75% of the original, productive old-growth forests on Vancouver Island have been logged, including 90% of the valley bottoms where the largest trees grow and most biodiversity is found. On southern Vancouver Island, south of Barkley Sound, about 87% of the original, productive old-growth forests have been logged, making the Cheewhat Giant a truly rare sight.
