Here, along the banks of Redwood Creek, are the world's tallest known trees. The tallest is 368 feet (112.3m) and several of its neighbors are not far behind. Imagine a tree as tall as a 30-story office building, or much longer than a football field. , but without some means of comparison, their height does not seem that great. There has been some controversy about what tree actually holds the record. Not long after the Redwood Creek grove was discovered someone else claimed to have found an even taller one, but its accurate measurement showed it to be "only" 70 m high. Loggers is Washington state and British Columbia claimed to have felled trees of Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga taxifolia) over 400 feet long. The Australians have long claimed that a gum tree ( which grows in a similar environment to the coastal redwood), Eucalyptus regnant, is the tallest tree. However the tallest accurately measured eucalyptus tree (346 feet) falls short of the coast redwood by 7 meters (22 feet).

Some would argue that the Gum Tree in Australia is the tallest at 360 ft; however the Redwood trees in California can get as high as 367 ft and 40 ft diameter trunk; the tallest on record though is the Giant Sequoia which stands at 379 ft and is often referred to as the Stratosphere Giant.

The tallest living tree today is the Mendocino Tree, a coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) found at Montgomery State Reserve near Ukiah, California, USA. In September 1998, it was 172 m (367.5 ft) tall, with a diameter of 3.14 m (10 ft)."

There is a new champion "tallest tree". It is also a redwood and has been named Hyperion. It is 379.1 feet tall, bettering the previous record holder, the 370.5-foot-tall Stratosphere Giant.

the world's longest tree is a Coast Redwood located in Montgomery State Reserve, CA. named the Mendocino Tree.
The Mendocino Tree measures in at 367.5 feet with a diameter of 10 feet 4 inches and is estimated to be about 1,000 years old.
The Mendocino Tree captured the record after the existing world's longest tree, located in the Redwood National Park, CA., lost 10 feet of it's top in a storm.
