Tallest tree in the world

The tallest species of trees in the world are called redwoods. Their scientific name is Sequoia sempercirens. They can easily reach heights of 91 metres. The tallest tree there is named Hyperion. It is huge, standing at 115.7 metres tall! That is 379.7 feet. Redwoods can live up to 500 to 700 years old. Their height is caused by California's climate, which is mild all year long and provides plenty of rain for them to get big. If you would like to see Hyperion, unfortunately, you can't because its location is hidden to prevent vandalism.
