For sheer volume, there are pleanty much bigger ones than that, although mostly broadleaves.

 

Some beautiful redwoods and firs still remain in pockets of North Wales and Scotland etc

Did you ever? What is or was the tallest native species of tree in GB?

[vduben]

i know of a 130ft wellingtonia in dorset and there is a 212ft doug fir in sunny scotland....

[RC0]

I cant find much other than the tallest natives are either ash or lime. It says the tallest beech is 150 but no figures for the others. Someone on this site must know.

 

The tallest conifers are dougfirs at 200+ Wales and Scotland but their not natives.

 

Whats the tallest native broadleaf in the US?

[Peter]

I know the tallest broadleaf in the country is a london plane at around 158 feet at Bryanston in Dorset. Not sure about the native thing though.

The doug firs are right skinny bitches anyway so in terms of timber volume non starters

[Peter]

There is an ash on the tree register database at 45m, thats 147 feet, at Duncombe park in Yorkshire
