How tall is the tallest tree in America?

Answer 1

The tallest living tree stands at 367 feet, 6 in.or five stories higher than the Statue of Liberty. It is a Mendocino Tree, a coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) found at Montgomery State Reserve near Ukiah, California, USA. It is estimated to be over 1000 years old. The tree was last measured in September 1998, and was also found to have a diameter of 3.14 M. (10 ft. 4 in.). It was declared the tallest tree in 1996.

NICE EXPLINATION!!!

Answer 2

Read all of this... because there are three answers (but the last one is the total answer).

The tallest (and just plain largest) trees in America -- and the world are the Sequoia sempervirens, better known as the Giant Sequoia or Coast Redwood.

The tallest is the "Hyperion" at Redwood National Park (Del Norte and Humboldt counties, Northern California). It stands 115.61 feet (379.3 m) tall.

Incidentally, the "Lost Monarch" is the largest living tree in the world, with a volume of 42,500 cubic feet (1,200 cu m). It lives in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, outside of Crescent City, N. Cal.

BUT! It's the "General Sherman" which is *actually* and truly the tallest *and* largest tree in the world -- it's the largest living thing in the world (actually there's a fungus in Kentucky that might be larger, but for right now...). It's 275 feet (83.8 metres) tall. It is officially, 100% largest by volume at 52,500 cubic feet (1,486.6 meters).

So the "General Sherman" takes the win in every category. I visited it... it's awesome.
