The tallest species of tree in the world is the coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens), which can grow to over 115 meters (377 feet) in height. These trees are native to the coastal regions of Northern California. The tallest known living redwood is named Hyperion, standing at 379.7 feet (115.7 meters). Redwoods thrive in the foggy coastal climate, where the moisture helps them grow to such great heights. These majestic trees are also known for their longevity, with some reaching over 2,000 years old.
