I am thinking of the particular tree deemed to be the tallest, not just the type of tree.

 

[DrPizza]

It used to be the Libby tree or something like that... but the top of that one broke or something and another that was shorter by a few inches is the tallest now.

edit: Okay, I cheated.... I looked it up. Mendocino tree.

You probably typed the same thing into Google that I did (I just wanted to make sure I remembered it correctly). The baton is yours.
