Where I'm from, Oregon, anywhere out of the valleys, where there are oaks and maples, the forests are all conifers, except the junkier trees that grow first after a clear cut of fire, mainly alder. Those give way to firs, that grow to 300 feet, and are 100 feet tall after 50 years.
There is some phenomenon, like a non-humid summer, that causes them to grow to giant proportions.
