The biggest tree in the world by volume is the General Sherman Tree, located in the Giant Forest of Sequoia National Park, California. It stands about 83 meters (275 feet) tall, with a base diameter over 11 meters (36 feet), and has an estimated bole volume of approximately 1,487 cubic meters (52,513 cubic feet). It is also estimated to be between 2,300 and 2,700 years old.
The tallest known living tree, however, is the Hyperion tree, a coast redwood in Redwood National Park, California. It measures about 116.07 meters (380.8 feet) tall as of 2019. Unlike General Sherman, Hyperion is not the largest by volume but holds the record for height.
Thus, the General Sherman Tree holds the title for the biggest tree by volume, while Hyperion is the tallest known living tree.
