Tallest tree in the world

Hyperion stands 115.54 m (379.1ft) above the ground and is estimated to be between 700 and 800 years old. The exact location of Hyperion is not accessible to the public because of the fear that tourists might disrupt the ecosystem of the tree. Xylem tubes function as long-distance straws to pull water and some dissolved nutrients up the plant from the roots.
In the case of Hyperion, that distance is more than 379 feet!
