What we love about this tree:
It's a skyscraper!
At 92.9 metres registered height, this is the sixth tallest flowering plant on Earth and one of the very tallest trees of the Southern Hemisphere. It seems in exceptional condition for its height, and its crown is clearly visible from the steep slopes above it.
