I heard that there is (and almost went to see) a redwood tree that at 360+
feet is claimed to be the tallest tree in the world. And in general I
thought the redwood (Sequoia semprenvirens (sp?) / coastal redwood) was the
tallest. We have a couple in a nearby state park that are 309' and 311',
if I recall correctly. Not that it makes too much difference; they all
seem pretty darn tall when you stand at the bottom and look up!
