IN the NEWS - Tallest Tree

Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice. Psalm 96:12

"Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon – the largest land-based canyon on
the planet...Located in Tibet, it is 37 miles longer than Arizona’s iconic Grand Canyon and, stretching down more than 3.7 miles at its lowest point, is deeper than any other terrestrial gorge. The canyon is named after the Yarlung Tsangpo River, which is known among explorers as the "Everest of rivers.”

Among its record-breaking attributes is a surprising inhabitant nestled into its rugged terrain: the tallest trees ever discovered in Asia.

Indeed, the cypress, which soars 335 feet up into the sky, is so tall, it would tower over the 305-foot-tall Statue of Liberty if the two were placed side-by-side."
