Just want to note, this is definitively not true. Coastal Dougs routinely reach 100m in height, and there's some anecdotal evidence[0] of a Doug which would likely have been the tallest tree ever recorded, if we believe the measurements putting it at 142m in height (and 10m in circumference!).

- oooyay 3y agoI've learned two things today. First is the seedlings note above, second is this. I'm still learning a lot about these trees. There's many of them at a park by my house and I have four in my yard, but they're probably 40 years old. They're very large to me, but they look nothing like the pictures of those Ashes.
