About King Jarrah Tree
The King Jarrah Tree is a renowned old-growth jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata) located in state forest south-west of Manjimup in Western Australia's South West region. Estimated to be over 500 years old and standing about 47 metres tall with a large girth, it is one of the largest remaining jarrah trees.
