Tallest Tree

We discovered the tallest tree on the planet in September 2006. We believe it’s more than 600 years old!

Hyperion is the name given to the tallest tree and living being on the planet, a 115 meter tall Sequoia tree, located in Redwood National Park, in northern California.

Tree

To protect the tree, the location of Hyperion is a secret.

If tourists start visiting the tree, it can be damaged.
