The Full Story

The coast redwood, Sequoia sempervirens, is the tallest tree species known. The tallest living specimen, named Hyperion, was measured at about 116 meters in California's Redwood National and State Parks. These trees can grow so tall because they are long-lived, thrive in foggy coastal conditions, and have highly efficient water transport systems. While other trees, such as giant sequoias, are bulkier, coast redwoods hold the height record.
