At 335 feet (102 meters) in height, the enormous newly-discovered cypress tree — which was found in a forest in Tibet — would tower over the Statue of Liberty.
A cypress tree in China is the tallest tree ever discovered in Asia. It is also believed to be the second-tallest tree in the world, standing at an astonishing 335 feet tall. At this height, the tree would tower over the Statue of Liberty, which stands at 305 feet .
The species the cypress belongs to is unclear, although Chinese state media publications suggested it is either a Himalayan cypress or a Tibetan cypress . Before this discovery, Asia's tallest tree was a 331-foot-tall yellow meranti located in the Danum Valley Conservation Area in Sabah, Malaysia. In May last year, the team found a 272-foot-tall fir tree in southwest China, which they initially believed was the largest tree in China. The team also uncovered a 252-foot tree in Medog County a month earlier.Continuing their survey this year, the researchers used drones, lasers and radar equipment to map out the trees in the area and identify their heights from the ground.
