A little more perspective
The selected individual is the coast redwood Hyperion, measured vertically from its base to its highest living crown. The date belongs to the measurement; this entry does not present it as a new 2026 survey.
Redwoods can gain height through growth and lose crown sections to damage. Hyperion's relatively slender trunk should not be replaced by the much wider form of a giant sequoia. Its illustration reconstructs the visible tree form; precise location details are omitted.
