These giant redwood trees grow to an
average height of 60 meters but can actually reach heights of over 100
meters. “Hyperion”, the tallest redwood, is 115.5 meters tall and can be
found in the Redwood National Park near San Francisco. Interestingly, a
subspecies of this group does not grow as tall but instead expands in
width, growing very large diameter shafts. “General Sherman” is the
widest of this subspecies with a diameter or 11.1 meters.
