The tallest tree

Until 2006, the world's tallest tree was 369 feet high. This redwood tree in California was known as the 'Stratosphere Giant'. Located in Humboldt Redwoods State Park, California, the tree was easily compared to the Statue of Liberty. With the exception of the foundation, the height of the Statue of Liberty is twice as high

But two naturalists, Chris Atkins and Mitchell Taylor, have come out in search of three trees taller than the stratosphere. They found these three trees in Redwood National Park, California. Scientifically they determine its height by laser method.

The tallest of the three trees is called Hyperion. Its height is 369 feet. In September 2006, Humboldt State University ecologist Steve Sillett led the tree measurement again. This time it is measured with ribbon. The scene measuring the height of the hyperion was also shown on the National Geographic Channel.

The most effective way to measure the height of a tree is to measure it with a tape measure from the top of the tree to the base of the soil, said Sylhet. Measuring the height of hyperion was not an easy task. The lowest branch is as high as a 25-story building. After about two hours of tireless work, they were able to measure the height of the tree. Measurements show that Atkins and Taylor's claim is correct, with an actual height of 369.1 feet.

This tree has survived since the '70s of the last century. However, the tree survived. Because, at that time, the plan was taken to cut the trees in that garden. But at one stage of cutting down trees in that forest, the government declared the area as a national park and stopped cutting down trees there. In the 1980s, 15 percent of American redwoods were cut down. At present, only 4 percent of redwood trees survive.

However, even though Hyperion is so old, it still looks alive and fresh. It is also growing rapidly. However, the exact location of Hyperion has not been disclosed anywhere. Because of this, very enthusiastic tourists will start climbing the tree, as a result it will be damaged. Source: ODT Central.
