The specie prefers cool and deep soils in humid environments with mild winters, because they can adapt well to different temperature changes.

Another important characteristic is its great longevity since it can exceed a thousand years and its growth is very fast, reaching 1.80 meters between four and ten years of age.

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.
