The Lynn Valley Tree was one of the tallest known Coast Douglas-fir, at a measured height of 126.5 metres (415 ft). It was cut down by the Tremblay Brothers, at Argyle Road in 1902 on the property of Alfred John Nye in Lynn Valley, now part of metropolitan Vancouver, BC. In 1912, Alfred Nye told historian Walter Mackay Draycott that the tree had first drawn his attention because of its vast columnar bole, and that it towered above the neighbouring forest. After it was felled, Nye told Draycott he had measured its length at 125 metres (410 ft), with a remaining stump height of 1.52 metres where its diameter was 4.34 metres (14.2 ft) across the butt, and the bark was 34 centimetres (13.5 in) thick. Since that time, in the lower valley where the tree grew, the entire old-growth forest has been logged, including a nearby 4.24-metre (13.9 ft) diameter fir tree that contained 1,280 rings, and another fir tree felled in the same valley that was said to have measured 107.3 metres (352 ft) tall.
