shorea faguetiana

 

  • [7][8] Previously, in 2016, the then tallest tropical tree in the world known as “Lahad Datu” was found at the Danum Valley Conservation Area measuring 93.0 m (305.1 ft) with
    a canopy measuring 40.3 m (132 ft) in diameter.

  • [9][10][11] Also in 2016, a Shorea faguetiana tree measuring 89.5 m (294 ft) tall was found in an area of forest known as “Sabah’s Lost World” – the Maliau Basin Conservation
    Area, one of Malaysia’s last few untouched wildernesses.

  • [2] The tree’s height is measured from the top of the crown to the lowest part of the buttress.

  • [2] The average between the distance to the lowest part of bole and the distance to the highest part of bole is 97.58 m. The team that measured it has named the tree “Menara”.
