World's Deepest Canyon is Home to Asia's Tallest Tree

At 335 feet (102 meters) in height, the enormous newly-discovered cypress tree — which was found in a forest in Tibet — would tower over the Statue of Liberty.

A cypress tree in China is the tallest tree ever discovered in Asia. It is also believed to be the second-tallest tree in the world, standing at an astonishing 335 feet (102 meters) tall. At this height, the tree would tower over the Statue of Liberty, which stands at 305 feet (93 m).

The gigantic cypress was discovered in May by a Peking University research team at the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon nature reserve in Bome County, Nyingchi City, in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China, according to a statement released by the university.

The species the cypress belongs to is unclear, although Chinese state media publications suggested it is either a Himalayan cypress (Cupressus torulosa) or a Tibetan cypress (Cupressus gigantea).

The tree is 9.6 feet (2.9 m) in diameter, according to the state-run Chinese publication the People's Daily Online.

Currently, the tallest tree in the world is an 381-foot (116 m) coastal redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) in the Redwood National Park in California. The tree, estimated to be between 600 and 800 years old and nicknamed Hyperion after one of the Titans in Greek mythology, was discovered in 2006.

Gan Fall mentions High West. Chapter 238. It’s been a long time since Skypiea so stuff may have been changed or moved around.

What if the summit of High West isn’t a mountain? What if it’s Elbaf’s big tree? Chapter 865. Sky folk all just think it’s a mountain. It also makes sense because the Celestial Dragons never got higher than the Red Line, the way up is protected by a literal island of giant warriors or you gotta take a knock up stream.

But it’s called Summit of High West. We don’t know of any mountains that stretch up into the clouds. Could this mountain be in the West Blue considering its name? Hell maybe Joyboy stretched the mountain up to the sky so some people could escape. It is odd that Slaves Giants and Sky folk know of the story of Nika. Just my 2 cents on it.

So this is a piece I did for my uni course, where I tried to improve my background art. It was a lot of work, so I hope people like it!

A bizarre oak giant, el Roblón absorbed others in its titanic growth and eventual anthropomorphic transformation.

Lore, lore, lore! Now you have the full picture, or at least a better understanding of what happened. We’ve been hearing about the Empire, the Green Cities and the war since the beginning, we just had to connect the dots.

Every grain of sand in the Desert was once part of the “Proud” Gizan Empire. And it would have gotten away with it, if it weren’t for those meddling Green Cities.
