The coniferous Coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) is the tallest tree species on earth. The world's superlative trees can be ranked by any factor. Records have been kept for trees with superlative height, trunk diameter (girth), canopy coverage, airspace volume, wood volume, estimated mass, and age.
Hyperion, a redwood tree soaring to an incredible 380.8 feet (116.07 meters), is the tallest tree on Earth. Nestled in the dense forests of California, this giant stands out not just for its height but for the sense of wonder and mystery it inspires.
