Coffin TreesTowering above all other trees in the Taiwanese forests are Coffin Trees (Taiwania cryptomerioides). Related to the Giant Redwoods of California, they are among the tallest trees in the world. These evergreen conifers can grow to 65 metres high and have trunks 3 metres in diameter – equivalent dimensions to a vertical stack of 43 cars! Did you know? The Coffin Tree was brought to England by the famous plant-hunter E. H. Wilson.
