What's the tallest tree in the world?
Trees can be of a superlative height, have large trunk diameter or enormous wood volume. They are ranked by this different factors and the champions are determined.The champion in height is the coniferous Coast Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens). One particular tree of this species, named Hyperion, is considered the tallest tree in the world. Its height is 115.61 m (379.3 ft). It is located in California, USA, in Redwood National Park. Anyway, there are still many disputes concerning Hyperion's record.

Jude Zyskowski, you can visit these trees and forests in CA, they are not hidden. Just protected.

They are usually more than 20 feet in diameter and up to 35 feet across the largest tree in the world in General Sherman.

We con only still see these majestic trees in California because the terrain where they grow was not suitable for logging. Human greed strikes again.

However, Eucalyptus regnans has been measured at much taller but it was cut down before they realised.
