California: A New Tallest Tree

A redwood tree discovered in a remote California forest has turned out to be the world’s tallest tree, edging out one nearby that had been the titleholder.
Prof. Steve Sillett of Humboldt State University said the record-setting tree, named Hyperion, was 379.1 feet tall, bettering the previous record holder, the 370.5-foot-tall Stratosphere Giant.
Researchers exploring remote and rugged terrain this summer in the Redwood National and State Parks along California’s northernmost coast also discovered two other redwoods taller than the Stratosphere Giant, suggesting there had been many more massive ancient redwoods in the area, Professor Sillett said.

Answer 2

The world's largest tree, a 275-foot (84-metre) giant sequoia. The tree in California's Sequoia National Park, dubbed "General Sherman" in 1879 by admirers of the US Civil War general, was once thought to be 6,000 years old.
But research ecologist Nate Stephenson of the United States Geological Survey said new tree-ring estimates of the tree's age had shaved off as much as 4,000 years.

General Sherman is not the tallest tree in the world, a title that goes to "the Mendocino Tree", an 800-year-old redwood tree which towers more than 367 feet (112 metres) above the forest floor near the northern California town of Ukiah.

But the huge sequoia is widely believed to be the biggest, measuring some 30 feet (9 metres) across at its base and having a total bulk more than 10 times that of a blue whale.
