The Oldest, Tallest, Widest and Biggest Trees in the World

The Tallest Tree in the World: Hyperion (115.6 meters/379′ 4″)

Hyperion was discovered on August 25, 2006 by naturalists Chris Atkins and Michael Taylor in a very remote region of Redwood National and State Parks (California, USA) and is believed to be approximately 700-800 years old. Explorers say that the tree could have been possibly taller than 380′, but due to woodpecker damage at the very top it is currently measuring in at 379′ 4″.
