词条 | Lynn Valley Tree |
释义 |
The Lynn Valley Tree was the tallest known Douglas fir, at a measured height of {{convert|126.5|meters}}.{{sfn|Carder|2005| p=14}} It was cut down in 1902.[1] The tree grew in Lynn Valley, now part of metropolitan Vancouver, B.C. Since that time, in the lower valley where the tree grew, the entire old-growth forest has been logged.{{sfn|Van Pelt|2001|p=128}} It was one of the tallest trees ever recorded, perhaps exceeded only by a small number of Australian mountain ash (Eucalyptus regnans).{{sfn|Carder|2005| p=136 (chart 1: world's ten tallest trees ever measured)}} A Douglas fir in Washington State, the Nooksack Giant, may have been {{convert|50|ft}} taller,[1] but the measurement of the Lynn Valley Tree's height is considered by some more reliable.
