  1. They dont get as big, but apples grow on trees that get pretty big.


  2. Coconut palm can reach 60 feet so you are looking for a large tree.

    Durian grows on tall trees, up to 150 feet but is from Malaysia. Star fruit or carambola comes from the Averrhoa carambola. The tree gets only ~15 ft tall.

    Rambutan (~50 ft), mangosteen (~50 ft), are also Asian crops.

    Abiu (~50 ft), the Pouteria caimito tree is from Brazil. It tastes like caramel

    Black Sapote /Chocolate Persimmon (~65 ft), the Diospyros digyna tree is from Mexico. There are white sapotes also

  3. The heights of the tallest trees in the world have been the subject of considerable dispute and much (often wild) exaggeration. Modern verified measurement with laser rangefinders combined with tape drop measurements made by tree climbers, carried out by the U.S. Eastern Native Tree Society has shown that most older measuring methods and measurements are unreliable, often producing exaggerations of 5% to 15% above the real height. Historical claims of trees of 117 m (384 ft), 130 m (427 ft), and even 150 m (492 ft), are now largely disregarded as unreliable, fantasy or outright fraud (however, see "Tallest specimens" chapter in Eucalyptus regnans article). The following are now accepted as the top five tallest reliably measured species:

    Coast Redwood Sequoia sempervirens: 115.55 m (379.1 ft), Redwood National Park, California, United States[7]

    Coast Douglas-fir Pseudotsuga menziesii: 99.4 m (326.1 ft), Brummit Creek, Coos County, Oregon, United States[8]

    Australian Mountain-ash Eucalyptus regnans: 97.0 m (318.2 ft), Styx Valley, Tasmania, Australia[9]

    Sitka Spruce Picea sitchensis: 96.7 m (317.3 ft), Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, California, United States[10]

    Giant Sequoia Sequoiadendron giganteum: 94.9 m (311.4 ft), Redwood Mountain Grove, Kings Canyon National Park, California, United States[11]

    The largest trees in total volume are those which are both tall and of large diameter, and in particular, which hold a large diameter high up the trunk. Measurement is very complex, particularly if branch volume is to be included as well as the trunk volume, so measurements have only been made for a small number of trees, and generally only for the trunk. No attempt has ever been made to include root volume.

    The top four species measured[19] so far are:

    Giant Sequoia Sequoiadendron giganteum: 1,489 m³ (55,040 cu ft), General Sherman[19]

    Coast Redwood Sequoia sempervirens: 1,045 m³ (36,890 cu ft), Del Norte Titan tree[19]

    Western Redcedar Thuja plicata: 500 m³ (17,650 cu ft ), Quinault Lake Redcedar[19]

    Kauri Agathis australis: circa 400 m³ (15,000 cu ft), Tane Mahuta tree[19] (total volume, including branches, 516.7 m³/18,247 cu ft)[19]

    However, the Alerce Fitzroya cupressoides, as yet un-measured, may well slot in at third or fourth place, and Montezuma Cypress Taxodium mucronatum and other giants are also likely to be high in the list. The largest angiosperm tree is a Australian Mountain-ash (Eucalyptus regnans) in Tasmania, known as the 'Two Towers' tree, with a volume of 430 m³ (15,185 cu ft).[20]

  4. a banana plant is actually a pseudostem literally meaning "fake stem" and is not a tree. look it up. it is not tree, and it is sorta small. The Japanese persimmon is one of the tallest fruit trees.

    if you mean by that, try searching on wikipedia for something like that i kinda wanna get to something else. sorry i tried.
