Elaho Valey, Giant Douglas Fir Tree, British Columbia, Canada 20

Description : Elaho Giant Trail

Not far from the location of the Douglas-fir Loop Trail, in an area that has
been mostly logged, is a small patch of trees that includes an old and large
Douglas-fir. The tree that has been left standing is within the broader area
that is thought to have been regenerated at the same time as the Douglas fir
at the site of the Douglas-fir Loop Trail. The tree has many similar
characteristics as those of the Douglas-fir Loop Trail, including the
truncated stem. However it is larger in diameter – 270cm (Figure 7). Its
height is reported to be 47.5 m. Based on the tree characteristics the Elaho
Giant is estimated to be over 1000 years old. However, it is not possible to
say whether its age is similar to that of the cut stumps or whether it is
older.
