I agree, trees can become monsters. It is theorized that 410 feet is highest physically possible for trees to become (it becomes impossible for a tree to 'pump' water up from the roots at a certain point) and there were probably many trees that have reached this height over time. The height of a tree depends on species and climate. In coastal regions that get lots of wet air comming in from the ocean (such as Lebanon, US Pacific Northwest, SouthPacific Islands) trees can reach their full potential.Originally Posted by pseudocaesar
The only place with great possiblity for giant trees on the EB map is Lebanon and by this point in time, the trees were nearly cleared away.
Due to the cold weather, species of trees, and mostly inland areas, Europe's trees, before man cleared them, would have been around 180 - 210 feet tall, taller along the coastal areas. The 'kings' of the forest could have probably reached 250+ feet, but were rare. Southern Britain lowlands would have had similar tree sizes, getting smaller as you head north.
