The Doerner Fir , also known as the Brummitt Fir, is a record-setting Coast Douglas-fir ( Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii ) in Oregon , is one of the tallest known trees in the world which is not a redwood ( Sequoioideae ), at 327 feet (99.7 m).
6-548: The Doerner Fir was previously measured in 1991 at 329 feet (100.3 m) tall but had lost 2 feet (0.6 m) as of the latest measurement, in 2008. It is approximately the same height as Centurion , a specimen of Eucalyptus regnans located in southern Tasmania , and as the tallest known specimen of Yellow meranti found in Borneo . The tree grows in a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) forest in Coos County . The tree

Centurion (tree) Centurion is the name given to a single Eucalyptus regnans tree growing in Southern Tasmania , Australia , and the world's tallest known Eucalyptus . The tree was first measured by climber-deployed tapeline at 99.6 metres (327 ft) tall in 2008, and was subsequently re-measured to be 100.5 metres (330 ft) tall by ground laser in 2018. This discovery places E. regnans as
18-408: The 86.5 metre tall E. regnans named Triarius and The Prefect which had a girth of 19m until destroyed in the 2019 fires. In February 2019 it was damaged from a bushfire that devastated the surrounding area but appears to have initially survived. A new hollow in the base was created by the fire. Two more recent measurements indicated that the tree was growing, albeit very slowly. In January 2014
24-770: The fourth-tallest tree species in the world after the coast redwood , the Himalayan cypress , and the Shorea faguetiana , and taller than both the Sitka spruce and Coastal Douglas Fir . It was discovered in August 2008 by employees of Forestry Tasmania while analysing the data collected by LiDAR system used in mapping and assessment of state forest resources. The tree is in a small patch of very old forest surrounded by secondary forest and has survived logging and forest fires by coincidence. Near Centurion grew two other giant trees:
30-501: The tree was climbed and the tape drop indicated the tree had grown to 99.82m. However, a further tape drop done in 2016 obtained the slightly lower height of 99.67m. Centurion was re-measured again by ground laser in December 2018 and was found to have possibly reached 100.5 meters in height. The diameter of Centurion is 4.05 metres, its girth exceeds 12 metres, and its volume has been estimated at 268 cubic metres. The name "Centurion"
