Prolly pretty high. I think it's in the eucalyptus family.

Eucalyptus jacksonii. This tree is 98' tall and has a circumference of 73 ft!. It's estimated to be about 400 yrs old.

Back when I was a kid, we’d hand process that on the way to school. Kids these days...

Yes, it is relatively short for its age. They can grow up to 75m (246') tall. This one has survived at least two major fires. It's hollow inside with the legs forming buttresses and the top limbs look clipped. The old tree is a venerable survivor.
