Tallest Tre In The World
The tallest tea in the world is an Australian gum tree of the species eucalyptus, in the Cape Otway range, standing under 415 feet high. Gum trees grow fast with one in Florida reaching 40 feet in four years and another in Guatemala growing 120 feet in twelve years. This equates to about two feet per year. There are more doctors per capita in New York City than anywhere in the country.
