The highest trees. Top 10
This is a list of the 10 largest trees in the world. The exact location of the 10 tallest trees are kept secret, so pictures of the trees hardly found. Trees are not guarded 24 hours and 7 days a week, but only coded information to the flow of tourists has not destroyed the infrastructure and does not interfere with the trees to grow further.
