Called ‘Menara’ (Malay for ‘tower’), the giant tree was first spotted by an international team of researchers in 2018 on the island of Borneo. Excluding roots, Menara weighs 81,500 kg, or more than the maximum takeoff weight of a Boeing 737-800. Only 5% of its mass is held in its 131-foot (40 m) wide crown, whereas 95% is in its trunk.

Doerner Fir, also known as the Brummitt Fir, is among the tallest non-redwoods ever discovered. It is a Coast Douglas-fir, estimated to be more than 500 years old, standing on the east side of Coos County in Oregon. The Doerner Fir was first measured back in 1991, found to stand at 329 feet. When it was later measured in 2008, it lost two feet and measured 327 feet.

This tree is not located in the United States, but in Arve Valley in Australia. Centurion is currently the second tallest tree around the world, and the tallest non-redwood. The largely popular Eucalyptus regnans tree narrowly beats the Doerner Fir. It was discovered in August 2008 by Forestry Tasmania employees. Despite the bush fires raging in the Tasmanian state in 2019, Centurion managed to survive, but not without suffering damage.

Hyperion is a coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) in California that was measured at 115.85 m (380.1 ft), which ranks it as the world's tallest known living tree. Hyperion was discovered August 25, 2006, by naturalists Chris Atkins and Michael Taylor. The tree was verified as standing 379.1 ft tall. The tree was found in a remote area of Redwood National and State Parks purchased in 1978. The Park also houses the second tallest tree Helios, and the third tallest Icarus. Sillett estimates Hyperion to be 600 years old while others report it to be roughly 700–800 years old.
