词汇 howard libbey tree
词源
Howard Libbey Tree. The redwood, native to the coast of California and a few miles into Oregon, is probably the tallest tree in the world, and towering above all other redwoods is the specimen called the Howard Libbey or Tall Tree growing along Redwood Creek in California’s Redwood National Park. Stand- ing 367.8 feet tall, the Tall Tree may be the tallest tree of all time, although there are unconfirmed reports that an Austral- ian eucalyptus felled in 1868 reached 464 feet. It was first named the Howard Libbey after the president of the Arcata Redwood Company, on whose land it was located until Congress estab- lished the park.
