"The world's tallest tree is a redwood tree growing in the Montgomery State Reserve on the outskirts of Ukiah, a city north of San Francisco, California. At 367.5 feet above the ground, the "Mendocino Tree" has been authenticated the tallest tree by the Guinness Book of World Records. Redwoods are taller than most trees and can gather as much as half a forest's annual water supply. One redwood can drop four inches of rainfall a night! In Australia, another tree, a Eucalyptus reganans, was thought to have measured 470 feet in 1885, which would make it the tallest tree in history."

The California Redwood Tree was generally thought to be the tallest tree known to man, but recently a tree in the Redwood National Park, Calif., named the "Hyperion" was found to be the suspected tallest tree in existance at 115 Meters high (377 Feet). Two slightly smaller new contenders for the tallest title are also nearby:
"Helios" 114 Meters (374 Ft.)
"Icarus" 113 Meters (370 Ft.)
