- knowing how tall the tallest tree is instead of which is the tallest tree seems usefulby dmvjs
- Lidar is an awesome way to find tall trees!by paulkrush
- I wonder how accurate the locations are in this LiDAR dataset and/or the Queens Giant Wikipedia article. The Alley Pond Park candidate looks suspiciously close to the the Queens Giant, so I wonder if it's actually picking the same tree?by prattmic
- I didn't get to mention this in my post, but what I love most about being alive today is being able to walk outside and ask a question like "where's the tallest tree?" Then come up with some answer after a couple days of analysis. Questions that you thought were impossible to answer are now in a way answerable.by willmeyers
