Which species of tree holds the record for being the tallest in the world? Explained

Coast redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens) stand as the loftiest trees globally, thriving along the shorelines of northern California and southern Oregon. These majestic beings commonly soar to heights nearing 350 feet, with the tallest living tree on record—dubbed Hyperion—reaching a remarkable 380.8 feet. Unearthed in 2006 within a secluded area of Redwood National Park, Hyperion’s discovery captivated many. Their extraordinary stature is sustained by a blend of favorable climatic conditions, fertile soil, protective thick bark guarding against fire and illness, and a lifespan that can endure beyond 2,000 years.
