We consider the set of random forests consisting of N rooted trees ordered in one of N! possible ways and of n nonroot unlabelled vertices. As N, n → ∞, we find the limit distributions of the (Np)/th term of the set of order statistics obtained by arranging the sizes of the trees of a random unlabelled forest in nondescending order for fixed p = 1, 2, … We find that a giant tree (that is, a tree of size n + o(n)) emerges in the only case where N, n → ∞ so that
