At 379.1 feet tall, Hyperion, a coastal redwood in California, is believed to be the world's tallest tree.
The tallest tree in the world is Hyperion; a coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) found in the Redwood National Park, California. Hyperion stands 115.54 m (379.1ft) above the ground and is estimated to be between 700 and 800 years old. The exact location of Hyperion is not accessible to the public because of the fear that tourists might disrupt the ecosystem of the tree.
Michael Taylor and Chris Atkins discovered the redwood on August 25, 2006. The initial height of the tree was marked as 378.1 feet, but it was measured again by researchers who obtained the height of 379.1 feet which became the official height recognized by the Guinness World Record. Remarkably, Hyperion stands on a hillside where 96% of the original coast redwoods have been logged.
