According to the researches of Dr A.C. Carder, the tallest tree ever measured was an Australian Eucalyptus regnans at Watts River, Victoria, Australia, reported in 1872 by forester William Ferguson. It was 132.6 m (435 ft) tall and almost certainly measured over 150 m (500 ft) originally
Tallest Living Tree
The world's tallest living tree is the Stratosphere Giant measuring 112.7 m (370 ft) as of July 2004. This coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) was discovered by Chris Atkins (USA) in August 2000 in the Rockefeller Forest of the Humboldt Redwoods State Park, California, USA.

Stratosphere Giant was considered the tallest tree in the world until September 2006. It measured 112.83 metres or 370 feet in 2004, and is located in the Humboldt Redwoods State Park, California, USA. The tree is still growing taller; in August 2000 it was 112.34 m tall, and in 2002 it measured 112.56 m. It is a specimen of the species Sequoia sempervirens, the Coast Redwood. It is surrounded by a large number of trees of almost equal size. To avoid damage by tourism, the tree's exact location was not disclosed to the public.
On September 8, 2006, a redwood named Hyperion in the Redwood National Park was discovered and is considered the tallest tree (and living thing), measuring 378.1 ft, although this has still to be confirmed using a tape measure or tripod measurement. Two other trees in this forest were found to be taller than Stratosphere Giant as well.[1]

Well now that you know about the two world's tallest trees, may I inquire as to your need for really fast growers, for your own use? The above mentioned are truly the tallest, but they are not available so consider a variety of the next fastest growers that are available to anyone, that being The Eucalyptus Tree. If you need to grow a tall tree this is the one!
