The coniferous Coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) is the tallest tree species on earth. The world's superlative trees can be ranked by any factor.

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.
Hesperocyparis arizonica was given its first scientific name and described by Edward Lee Greene in 1882 as Cupressus arizonica, placing it in genus Cupressus. [3] [5] This description was soon after disputed by Maxwell T.
