The Coast Redwood Tree is native to the coast of California and southern Oregon and is the tallest tree on earth. The giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron gigantea) is native to the Sierra Nevada mountains of California and is the largest living thing on earth.

HYPERION - World's tallest known living tree, rising above the largest patch of old-growth redwood forest, Humboldt Redwoods State Park, CA, US - Hyperion is a coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) measured at 380.3 ft. It was discovered on 25AUG2006, by Chris Atkins & Michael Taylor. It's estimated to be 600-800 years old & contains 18,600 cu ft of wood. The exact location of Hyperion is secret. However, in July 2022, the entire area around the tree was closed off, citing “devastation of the habitat surrounding Hyperion" caused by visitors. (Wikipedia). Researchers have said that woodpecker activity at the top may have prevented the tree from growing taller. Photo credit: Michael Nichols, National Geographic)
