About This Quote

To say that trees are tall is to be almost literally correct. A tree can grow to be as tall as 30 meters, although most are half this height. The length of the tallest known tree, the coast redwood in California, is 282 feet. That’s not quite as tall as a tree can get, but it’s still taller than most people want their houses to be.
