Everything about Hyperion Tree totally explained
Hyperion is the name of a
coast redwood tree in
Northern California that has been confirmed to measure 115.55 m (379.1 feet), which ranks it as the world's tallest known living tree. Despite its great height, Hyperion isn't the largest known coast redwood; that distinction belongs to the
Lost Monarch tree.
Hyperion was discovered
September 8,
2006 by researcher Chris Atkins and amateur naturalist Michael Taylor. The tree was verified as standing 115.55 m tall by
Stephen Sillett. The tree was found in a remote area of the
Redwood National Park purchased in 1978, during the
Carter Administration. The exact location of the tree hasn't been revealed to the public for fear that human traffic would upset the
ecosystem the tree inhabits. The tree is estimated to contain 502 m³ (18,600 cubic feet) of wood.
Researchers stated that
woodpecker damage at the top prevented the tree from reaching 380 feet (115.8 m).
