According to the researches of Dr A.C. Carder, the tallest tree ever measured was an Australian Eucalyptus regnans at Watts River, Victoria, Australia, reported in 1872 by forester William Ferguson. It was 132.6 m (435 ft) tall and almost certainly measured over 150 m (500 ft) originally. Another Eucalyptus at Mt Baw Baw, Victoria, Australia, is believed to have measured 143 m (470 ft) in 1885. The Dyerville Giant, a coast redwood, estimated to be 1,600 years old when it fell in March 1991, was proven to be 113.4 m (372 ft) high, not counting the 1.5 m (5 ft) of buried base. It grew in Humboldt Redwoods State Park, California, USA and was the tallest tree of modern times.
