Centurion

Local nameCenturion
LocationTasmania, Australia

Centurion is the name given to a single Eucalyptus regnans tree growing in Southern Tasmania, Australia, and the world's tallest known Eucalyptus. The tree was first measured by climber-deployed tapeline at 99.6 metres tall in 2008, and was subsequently re-measured to be 100.5 metres tall by ground laser in 2018. This discovery places E. regnans as the second-tallest tree species in the world after the coast redwood, and taller than both the Sitka spruce and Coastal Douglas Fir.

It was discovered in August 2008 by employees of Forestry Tasmania while analysing the data collected by LiDAR system used in mapping and assessment of state forest resources.
