Which is the tallest tree species in the world?

The coast redwood, Sequoia sempervirens, is the tallest tree species on Earth. The tallest known living individual is a redwood named Hyperion, which measures about 116 meters tall. These trees grow naturally along the foggy coast of northern California and southern Oregon. Their great height is supported by efficient water transport and favorable coastal moisture. Coast redwoods are also among the longest-lived tree species, adding to their ecological importance.
