This is a list of the 10 largest trees in the world. The exact location of the 10 tallest trees is kept secret, so photos of these trees are almost impossible to find. The trees are not guarded 24 hours and 7 days a week, but only classified the information so that the flow of tourists does not destroy the infrastructure and does not interfere with the growth of trees further.
