The World’s Tallest Tropical Tree Is Longer Than a Football Field
The world’s tallest tropical tree on record is a giant, measuring an astonishing 330 feet (100.8 meters) from ground to sky
— a height that’s more than five bowling lanes stacked end to end.
This tree, likely also the world’s tallest flowering plant, lives in a rainforest in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo, according to scientists from the United Kingdom and Malaysia.
It’s so high-reaching, it’s no wonder the scientists named it “Menara,” the Malay word for “tower.”
