Nice article, but unfortunate hyperbole:

  climbs one of the potential candidates for the world's tallest tree
At 330 feet it's hardly a match for the world's tallest trees. California redwoods routinely clock 370 feet and 330 is quite an ordinary occurrence you can see on quick accessible hikes

“Tropical tree”, not claiming to be tallest amongst all trees.
