Amazing! So Africa's tallest indigenous tree is actually on Africa's tallest mountain! Thanks a lot for this, Elektra! I'm very happy to hear this. I knew there were some big *indigenous* trees in Africa, but thought they were in the Congo rainforests. I'm happy to learn otherwise! That's a serious size for a forest tree over here. These are probably a lot more *massive* than the Eucalypts growing over here.

I think they said it was the size of a 30 story building, that is really huge. And like you mentioned before these big trees are complete ecosystems in themselves. I hope they can add this area to the protected zone, it would be awful if it were cut down.
