The tallest tree ever recorded in the Amazon is 88.5 meters tall, which is equivalent to a 30-story building. The information was released by a team of researchers in an article in the scientific journal Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment. The tree, known as the red angelim, is located in the Paru State Forest in Pará, and is surrounded by seven other giants, each at least 80 meters tall.
The tree, however, is still small compared to the tallest ever recorded in the world, which is in northern California, in the USA, and measures 115.6 meters. According to the publication, it is only possible to reach the region by helicopter or by small boats along the Jari River.
