The tallest tree in the world is a coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) named “Hyperion,” located in a remote area of Redwood National Park in California, USA. Hyperion was discovered in 2006 by naturalists Chris Atkins and Michael Taylor, who measured its height at 379.7 feet (115.7 meters). Coast redwoods are known for their impressive height, and Hyperion currently holds the record as the tallest known living tree on Earth. However, it’s worth noting that the exact location of Hyperion is kept confidential to protect the tree from potential damage or vandalism.
