Survey based on NASA photos shows the tallest is a 51-metre specimen, imported in 1884 to drain swamps; Bennett says Israel should target net zero emissions by 2050
USING DATA COLLECTED by NASA, KKL-JNF has published a new national survey in its Forest magazine, which identified the tallest trees in Israel and their concerning climate sensitivity heading into the future.
The survey found eucalyptus trees growing in the Hula Valley to be the tallest trees in Israel reaching heights just over 50 metres, and one natural process in particular is responsible for the growth spurts of this scale.
