Fastest growing individual tree

The fastest recorded rate of growth for any tree is 10.74 m (35 ft 2.8in) in 13 months, or approximately 2.8 cm (1.1 in) per day) by an Albizzia falcata, planted on 17 June 1974 in Sabah, Malaysia.

For this record, bamboo is discounted as it is classified as a woody grass.
