Discover the stories behind the world's biggest trees, from the expert behind @bigtreehunters.

Fred Breglia, aka the 'Tree Man', is a big tree hunter. Having discovered, measured and crowned many champion trees in the US, he now shares his passion for big trees via @bigtreehunters. In this book, he shares the most awe-inspiring big trees in the world.

BIG TREES takes you on a journey through the giants of the natural world--towering redwoods, ancient baobabs and colossal eucalypts--uncovering their extraordinary stories and sharing how, against all odds, they have survived and thrived over hundreds and thousands of years. Grouped into thematic chapters, you can dip in and out and discover a huge array of trees and stories, including:

  • New Discoveries, such as the recently recorded Menara, a 100-meter yellow meranti soaring above the Malaysian rainforest.
  • Pillars of the Community highlights trees with human connections, like Santa Barbara's 80-foot Moreton Bay Fig, whose original seed arrived in California by way of an Australian seaman and planted in 1876.
  • In Twists and Burls, we meet contorted wonders like the El Árbol del Tule in Mexico, boasting the stoutest trunk of any tree on Earth.
  • Against All Odds celebrates survivors, from Japan's Miracle Pine, which withstood the 2011 tsunami, to Tasmania's Centurion, a mountain ash that survived a devastating wildfire.
