OREGON TALL PINES???

Oregon has been known for tall firs.  But two researchers say southern Oregon is home to the world’s tallest pine tree.  It’s a ponderosa pine they measured at more than 268 feet tall.  That would be the tallest pine tree of any type, anywhere.  In fact, they say there are several shorter pines in the area that are still taller than the previously known tallest pine.  The trees are in the Siskyou National Forest, near the Rogue River.
