Several ways to determine the height of a tree:

I was a utility forester in San Diego, I'd approximate that to be somewhere around 60ft. Take really good care of it, get the species to make sure it gets adequate water. An old growth tree like that is beautiful, but dangerous if it gets dry or diseased.

A large tree like that, in a hot place like Arkansas, may drink a hundred gallons of water or more every summer day. It's more or less impossible to water it.

lean a shovel against it... most are 6 foot ... measure yours

back up.. until you can get the whole tree into a pic ...

then use a ruler on you monitor.. to count how may repetitions... and then multiply ...

Just based on the overall appearance, I'd guess 65-75 feet. Hard to tell, though.

I was guessing 70-75 feet give or take. I'm assuming the building has 8 ft ceilings and the low pitch of the roof puts it and maybe 10 feet and then comparing. If you know your ceilings and roof are different than that, you could adjust from there.

80'...aprox.

The boy scout way is to place a stick of know height above the ground. At the same time measure the length of the stick's shadow and the length of the tree' shadow.

It is then a simple of proportional calculation HS * ST/SS = HT

Smart phones have them internal gyroscopes. Download an app which lets you take a picture and displays the angle your phone was at. Pretend the tree is the straight part of a right angle triangle. I prefer to get as far away from your tree on level ground as necessary to see the top leaves when lying on the ground. For some odd reason I prefer if the angle is exactly 45 degrees but if you measure the distance from the tree to where you took the pic you should be able to calculate the other legs of the triangle.

Another choice is to drive a short stake into the ground and wait for the sun to be low. Measure the length of the stake's shadow. Measure how high the stake is above the ground, then measure the tree's shadow...all at the same time. If, for example, the stake sticks up 3 feet, and its shadow is 12 feet, then measure the tree's shadow and divide by 4 (3 into 12 goes 4). Works best early morning or late day, as the shadows are longer then and measurement error is less.
