The conifer division of plants includes the tallest organism, and the largest single-stemmed plants by wood volume, wood mass, and main stem circumference.The largest by wood volume and mass is the giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum), native to Sierra Nevada and California; it grows to an average height of 70–85 m (230–279 ft) and 5–7 m (16–23 ft) in diameter.

Longest member of the Kelp division or phylum (Phaeophycophyta), and longest aquatic vine. This specimen also weighed 308 pounds (140 kg). [36] Triphyophyllum peltatum (Dioncophyllaceae). Tropical West Africa. Up to 230 feet (70 meters). [37] [38] This is the most massive carnivorous plant known, being thicker and woodier than Nepenthes.
With a flower growing up to 1.5 m (5 ft) in diameter, 3–4 m (10–13 ft) in perimeter and 10–12 kg (22–26 lb) in weight, Rafflesia arnoldii is the world's current largest individual flower. They grow in the forests of Sumatra and Borneo islands of Indonesia.
Named "Methuselah", it is currently growing at Kibbutz Ketura, Israel. [16] Similarly, the flowering plant Silene stenophylla was grown from fruit found in an ancient squirrel's cache. The germinated plants bore viable seeds. The fruit was dated at 31,800 ± 300 years old. [17]
In 2022, Pando was the subject of an issue of the webcomic xkcd published on December 23, which facetiously suggests adding to Pando's many world records that of world's largest Christmas tree by running a 9,300-foot-long string of Christmas lights through the branches along its perimeter. [51]
A Palmer oak in Jurupa Valley is estimated to be 13,000 to 18,000 years old. The plant, which looks like a sprawling, dark green shrub, is now at the center of a development battle.
Two main opposing forces affect a tree's height; one pushes it upward while the other holds it down. By analyzing the interplay between these forces in coast redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens), a team of biologists led by George Koch of Northern Arizona University calculated the theoretical maximum tree height or the point at which opposing forces balance out and a tree stops growing.
A form of flowering plant that far exceeds Pando as the largest organism on Earth in area and potentially also mass, is the giant marine plant, Posidonia australis, living in Shark Bay, Australia. Its length is about 180 km (112 mi) and it covers an area of 200 km 2 (77 sq mi). [8] [9] It is also among the oldest known clonal plants.
