Freiburg im Breisgau, Italy
The Waldtraut tree (German: Waldtraut vom Mühlwald) is a Douglas fir that is currently the tallest tree in Germany, standing at approximately 68 meters. Waldtraut stands just south of the present-day Freiburg-Günterstal Arboretum in Freiburg im Breisgau, Baden-Württemberg. It was planted at its curr
ent location in 1913 as a three-year-old sapling and is therefore 116 years old. Several other Douglas firs of the same age and almost the same height stand around it. The Douglas tree grows by about 30 centimeters every year.
