Anyone who enjoys big tree stuff - the co-discoverer of the world's tallest tree, Hyperion, just launched a new website. He discovered the bulk of the largest known coast redwoods by volume. And co-discovered some with others. Only a tree hunter in regards to searching, not cutting.

The gallery page is one of the more complete ones.

Tall Trees Club ~ Landmark Trees

It's got a ways to go, and I think he - Michael Taylor - is hand coding the pages. But there's a lot of nice images in the gallery of Redwoods, Eucalyptus, Giant Sequoia and more. I've been hoping he would get a site online.

Right now, he's somewhere near Humboldt and Trinity counties, looking for champion trees of other species, including big pines.

We have the biggest sugar pine and aspen trees in the state in this county in addition to an awfully nice grove of Sequoia Gigantea.

Here is your California registry of Big Trees, but there may be several species on there for which larger specimens are known to exist. Maybe your Aspen too.

California Big Tree Registry

I'm almost positive that the coast redwood on there, nominated 1998, is not the largest. But these registries also rate trees with a point system that can be different from other means such as measuring actual trunk wood volume.

There's a bunch of trees on that registry.
