Tallest Tree in the World
Coast Redwoods grow taller than any other tree, reaching incredible heights. The tallest one, Hyperion, is 115.92 meters (380.3 feet) tall.
Found in California
They grow in foggy forests in the USA, mostly along the Pacific Coast. These trees need a mild, wet climate to thrive.
Massive Height
Some trees reach over 100 meters (330 feet) tall, taller than a 30-story building. Their trunks can also grow 7.9 meters (26 feet) wide.
Long Lifespan
They can live for more than 2,000 years, making them among the oldest trees on Earth. Some redwoods existed before the Roman Empire.
Fire-Resistant Bark
Thick bark protects them from fire and insects, helping them survive for centuries. Their bark can be up to 30 cm (12 inches) thick.
Need a Lot of Water
They survive on rain and coastal fog, which keeps them hydrated year-round. Fog provides about 40% of their water supply.
