HIGHEST tree in the world redwood or sequoia evergreen (Sequoia sempervirens) is one of three species of redwoods, along with the giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) and metasekvoyey (Metasequoia glyptostroboides). This is a unique kind of flora growing in natural stands long and narrow coastal zone, bordering the Pacific Ocean to the west and north-western United States (mainly in California). Mamontovaya tree is the tallest tree in the world. "Del Norte Titan" in the public park Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park With a relatively slim silhouette This tree can grow to 20 meters above even the tallest giant sequoias, which, however, are the largest trees of the world, if as a criterion to take the volume of the barrel. tallest known existing tree, named Hyperion (Hyperion, ie . Titan) has a height of 115.55 meters or 379.1 feet (measurement performed in 2006)! This height is close to the limiting value of 130 m, which, according to research carried out in 2004, is a maximum achievable height tree. Misty Pacific coastal forests all year on this narrow coastal strip is a set of rains, most of the time you can see the mist. Thus, the tree can absorb enough water and did not particularly suffer from lack of moisture during evaporation. Most of the tallest trees grows in moist river valleys on fertile, alluvial deposits, although a pair of newly discovered trees suddenly broke the record, forth on the slopes of the valley. Coastal redwood forests have an abundant undergrowth (including a lot of ferns). Nevertheless, the greatest biological diversity can be found tens of meters above: different kinds of plants, lichens, salamanders live in the sky between the complex systems of branches in California redwood trees. Professor Steve Sillett, who studies the vaults of the redwood trees, compares them with "hanging gardens". Read more:
