There are 7 other coastal redwoods known to be over 112 meters (367 feet) in height, and 222 specimens over 105 meters (344 feet). [7] There are only five species known to grow over 91 meters (299 feet) in height worldwide. [8] There are historical accounts of extremely tall and large trees.
The tree measured 8 m (25 ft) in circumference at the base and 5 m (16 ft) in circumference 1.2 m (4 ft) above the ground. The tree was 23 m (75 ft) tall, and its branches spread over 38 m (125 ft) from tip to tip. [10] The oak, claimed to be the oldest in the United States, began showing signs of poor health in the mid-2010s. [11]
[1] [2] It reached 116.07 metres (380.8 ft) in 2019. [3] The second and sixth tallest trees, both redwoods, were also found at Redwood National Park in 2006 when Hyperion was found, and were named Helios 114.8 metres (377 ft), and Icarus 113.1 metres (371 ft) tall. [3]
Tree height is the vertical distance between the base of the tree and the highest sprig at the top of the tree. The base of the tree is measured for both height and girth as being the elevation at which the pith of the tree intersects the ground surface beneath, or "where the acorn sprouted."
It is distinguished from most other oaks by its leaves, which are shaped like willow leaves, 5–12 centimeters (2– 4 + 3 ⁄ 4 inches) long and 1–2.5 cm (3 ⁄ 8 –1 in) broad with an entire (untoothed and unlobed) margin; they are bright green above, paler beneath, usually hairless but sometimes downy beneath.
Quercus gambelii trees differ in size from one location to another. The average mature height is from 3–9 metres (10–30 feet), but occasionally reaches heights of 18 m (59 ft) in some locations. Dwarf stands of plants under 1 m (3 + 1 ⁄ 4 ft) tall are common in marginal areas where heavy browsing occurs. [4]

It was remeasured in 2008 and found to be "more than 200 meters" (more than 656 feet) in circumference; equivalent to an average limb spread of more than 209 feet ( more than 64 meters). The trunk is about ten feet thick (ten meters girth). [72] Oriental plane (Platanus orientalis) 64.0 210 Oriental Plane Tree at Corsham Court Wiltshire ...
