Doerner Fir
The Doerner Fir, also known as the Brummitt Fir, is a former record-setting Coast Douglas-fir in Oregon, and is one of the tallest known trees in the world which is not a redwood, at.
The Doerner Fir was previously measured in 1991 at tall but had lost as of the latest measurement, in 2022. Dr Robert Van Pelt notes that while tall was its height above average ground level, it is situated on a slope and a further of the trunk goes downhill, making the tree tall from extreme lowest end of stem to the very top in its prime. Numerous other Douglas fir trees estimated at over tall had been logged which had scaled 9 merchantable logs of long each, and had been cruised in Brummett creek in 1956 according to Bureau of Land Management correspondence, and US Forestry reports. Today, the tree is unique for its height. But for years, the tree was surrounded by many other giants until intensive logging reduced their numbers.
As of August 16, 2025 the trunk of the tree was burning in a fire, and had lost of its crown. According to news reports August 22, 2025, the fire has been extinguished by tall tree climbers.
The tree grows in a Bureau of Land Management forest in Coos County. 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.
