Which is the tallest tree species on Earth?

  • Coast redwood
  • Giant sequoia
  • Mountain ash

The answer is Coast redwood. Over 115 metres.

This is a list of the tallest known species of trees, as reflected by measurements of the tallest reliably-measured individual specimen. Although giant trees grow in both tropical and temperate regions, they are very restricted geographically and phylogenetically. All the known giant trees occur in mesic climates, and nearly all of them are found in three regions: western North America, Southeast Asia and southeastern Australia.
