A giant redwood in California's Redwood National Park is the tallest tree on earth. You can look out the top-floor of a building 35 stories high- and still not see the top! The tree was named Hyperion, and it is about 379.1 feet tall!

The tallest growing group of trees in the world are the Sequoia (S. semperviriens) also known as the Coastal Redwood, Giant Redwood and California Redwood. The trees are indigenous to California and Oregon (USA).

These coniferous, cone-bearing trees are monocotyledonous and can grow up to 110 meters or 360 feet. Some of the oldest living specimens are approximately 2,000 years old.

Have a look at the associated links on this page; Wiki has an article under the "Trees" link which explains some of the controversy around which tree is in fact the tallest. Simply put, it depends who measures it and what criteria they use for their measurement's.

========================================================

The tallest living tree stands at 112 meters (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. - Old Record
