The Doerner Fir, also known as the Brummitt Fir, is a former record-setting Coast Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii) in Oregon, and is one of the tallest known trees in the world which is not a redwood (Sequoioideae), at 325.8 feet (99.3 m).[2]
The Doerner Fir was previously measured in 1991 at 329 feet (100.3 m) tall but had lost 3.2 feet (1.0 m) as of the latest measurement, in 2022.[3]
The tree grows in a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) forest in Coos County.[4] The tree was previously named the Brummitt Fir after its drainage until it was renamed in honor of Ray Doerner, a Douglas County commissioner and longtime BLM employee.[5]
