Note that the redwood in the photo is the 3rd largest by volume. Its height is 300' tall. But there are about 100 redwoods between the heights of 300' to 379' tall. I keep the list on my website. Surprisingly, none taller than the one in the photo are bigger than this one. MDV ~ Oregon Bruce Johnston wrote that maybe 30 or 40 existed once, taller by 50′ to 70′.

Estimates are that we are down to about 4% of the original trees. They grow fast, and even a 100 yr old tree is pretty darn big. Is a 1,000 yr old redwood tree a renewable resource? just to remind everybody that there used to be maybe 30 or 40, maybe more, redwoods 50′ to 75′ TALLER THAN THIS ONE!

I kept expecting to see wookies from star wars to pop out of the underbrush when we were hiking in the redwood forest.
