How tall can trees grow according to redwood study
The Baltimore Sun reports US scientists hauled sensitive instruments to the tops of 2000 year old California redwoods to test how water moves to the canopy. The study suggests redwoods and perhaps all trees stop growing around 425 feet due to their plumbing limits. Researchers led by George Koch climbed five of the world’s eight tallest trees including the Stratosphere Giant in Humboldt Redwoods State Park.
