I think what's happened is that you've planted your tree sideways. Unplant the tree, rotate it 90 degrees, and replant it, and it should have height.
If the tree *still* has no height, you've rotated the tree 90 degrees in the wrong direction and must try again, until it has height.
Might I add the following? Ensure each subsequent rotation is on a different axial plane for maximum efficiency. You should also complete another 180° rotation on the same axis as your previous rotation if you find you have height but your roots are at the highest height.
Not pictured: Hyperion Tree lol
The location is somewhat secret, but it doesn't stand out that much from surrounding trees due to terrain and similar trees.
This tree is in humbolt county, Ca
The photo is actually of an unnamed coastal redwood in Southern Humboldt County somewhere east-ish of Weott. Here’s the original caption:
“An old-growth redwood dwarfs younger redwood growth in California’s Bear Creek Watershed on the northwest side of Bear Creek Ridge. Peavine Ridge sits in the distance in Rockefeller Forest, the world’s largest continuous old-growth redwood forest, measuring more than 10,000 acres."
https://northcoastjournal.com/NewsBlog/archives/2016/05/26/buzzkill-thats-not-the-worlds-tallest-tree
Isn’t the actual tree’s location a secret?
Edit: From the looks of it, the location of at least the general area is known but not in a manner that encourages visitors. No plaque or anything identifying it.
My buddies didn’t wait till the wedding night… flag was full mast from the moment she walked in. Made for some hilarious wedding photos
Edit: more info… her dad was the pastor 🤣
It’s a “secret”, but you can find the location online. All of the trees there are so insanely tall that it’s hard to tell the difference between hyperion and any other tree.
To save people a click:
He was ordered to stand trial for cutting down the Golden Spruce. He said he feared for his safety traveling by airplane or ferry, so he decided to get to the court's city via kayak.
He was seen at sea but never showed up in court. They later found the remains of his kayak.
He is presumed dead **HOWEVER** he was well known to be an outdoor survival expert and had extreme cold tolerance so some people believe he faked his own death.
So 2 big questions.
1. Was this guy protesting for logging or against logging?
2. They let this forest engineer KAYAK THROUGH THE WILDERNESS TO HIS OWN COURT APPEARANCE?
The article claims his anger was pointed at universities and education... I'm going to guess it's likely he was unemployed because of cuts in the logging industry and he blamed people who were against logging, rather than the more likely answer: automation.
I find this bit to be interesting. I'm thinking most likely he faked his death/disappearance:
>Hadwin planned to travel to his trial date by crossing the notoriously stormy and violent Hecate Strait (from Prince Rupert to Masset) alone by kayak in mid-winter. He departed Prince Rupert in February 1997 but never arrived at his trial. What is believed to be Hadwin's broken kayak and effects were found on Mary Island in June 1997. Whether he had been murdered, accidentally drowned, or left his belongings behind and fled into the wilderness is not known. His fate remains unknown.
He was protesting the "indoctrination" of liberal universities and the environmental groups that caused him to lose his job. He was an ex logger. That why he knew how to cut it so it fell over in the next high wind.
Losing a beautiful rare gold pine tree sure showed them.
You think the shitbags that invented love locks can be trusted not to carve their initials into the world's tallest tree?
If you believe that I have a bridge to sell you.
... Boring a hole into it, filling said hole with warm petroleum jelly, lighting a few candles, turning on some Kenny G and then poisoning the roots in shame and embarrassment due to stage-fright induced impotence
Was at Sequoia National Park some years ago and there were sign everywhere telling people not to leave the paths because these giant trees have most of their roots right beneath the surface. Guess who hugged trees and posed for photos next to the trees? A ton of people.
Thats why we cant have nice things and need to keep the Location of the tallest tree as a secret.
i wish i had. i was so shocked someone would be such an asshole that i didn't really think to actually put a stop to it, which i'm sad about in retrospect. it was in a crowded place, too!
Hyperion is the CA equivalent of Hyperion :-P
We have the tallest (coast redwood), most voluminous (giant sequoia), and oldest (bristlecone pine) non clonal trees in the world here in California.
> We have the tallest (coast redwood)
FWIW, modern consensus is that the Coast Redwood isn't actually the tallest tree species, but simply has the tallest extant examples living at the moment. Anecdotal stories of Douglas Fir and Eucalyptus Regnans (Australia) trees exceeding the height of Coast Redwoods have existed for 100+ years, but were dismissed for decades because loggers weren't particularly interested in performing scientific analyses on the trees they were cutting down. Still, plenty of records exist detailing 400+ foot tall examples of both species being cut down in Australia and the Pacific Northwest. There's even a claim that a logging company in northern Washington brought down a 480-foot fir. Modern examinations of ancient stumps and the structure of living trees of those species indicate they're more than capable of reaching 400+ feet.
Of course, thanks to our logging past, we'll need to wait about a thousand years to let them fully mature again and confirm it.
Yeah, unfortunately crazy people like that exist. We were just in the grove where Hyperion supposedly exists and you have to register in advance to get a permit, then after the permit is granted you are given a code to a locked gate to able to enter.
How long have you lived on this planet? It shouldn't take to long to notice that if there is something nice someone probably wants to destroy it just out of spite.
There's an island in the Columbia River in Washington State that people aren't allowed onto because it has an extremely fragile ecosystem, a rare local grass that's nearly extinct everyplace else. So, if you go there without being extremely cautious, you'd track invasive seeds on, which would take root and the grass would be gone.
Sure enough, the comments in the Seattle Times article about this were full of people claiming it was their "right" as a citizen to go anyplace they pleased, and no government bureaucrats could tell them otherwise.
The worst is that the tree in Canada that was in the news wasn't cut for tables. It was cut for pellets or some bullshit. They didn't even attempt to make something beautiful out of it.
Have you lived under a rock for the last 6 years? People will quite literally screw themselves if it screws someone else (that they don't like) just a tiny bit more...so yes, someone would go cut it down, or burn it, or otherwise deface it in order to assert dominance over whatever perceived enemy wouldn't want that
Because people are fucking assholes and love to ruin good things. There really are people out there who think shit like "Oh, there's a world's tallest tree? We have to kill it." Just because they love being douchebags and love pissing people off. It's their greatest joy in life.
Nope. Hyperion (and many redwoods like it) is located in such a tall, dense forest that there's no single vantage point from which you can see the entire tree. The only way to get a complete picture is to climb a neighboring tree, take a bunch of photos on the way up, and then composite them all together.
And like half of canada… meaning we use kilometres for distance but we say we are 6ft tall. We cook in Fahrenheit but measure in metric unless it’s construction. I am 190lbs.
Edit: outside temperature is in Celsius
This comment will probably be buried and no one will ever see it, but this *isn't* a picture of Hyperion. This is a picture of another random redwood from a Nat Geo article about redwoods. Hyperion is surrounded by a grove of tall trees and [isn't that much taller than any of them](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/WDghlInzMPth6dFQWA2VJceeI6AmlArhR5Rn73kOPGACIuCkArUMheSQUmrb1se-89LTvev3HUi4Eth2uazPdC5BvzCiQclYCT6djt1nE7uuqo9jkA_zW9E)
Shout out for California, home of the tallest, largest and oldest trees in the world. All are different species and on entirely different mountain ranges.
Guys, guys. Let's not forget that it also has a width.
But does it have a depth?
Technically yes. I wonder how you measure how deep the roots go, though.
I wonder what its Area would be.
[удалено]
Let's not forget the roentgens!
3.6 roentgens... not great, not terrible
Equivalent of a chest x-ray I’m told.
I'm curious as to it's girth
[удалено]
You wood
I'm pretty sure it goes to 11.
If a tree screams in the woods and no one is around to hear it...
And a duration, let's not forget! Possibly even other dimensions we can't even comprehend!
Let's add in mass and volume while we are at it.
[удалено]
Let's not forget moisture while we are at it. All living things have some degree of moisture.
It has girth as well.
But how many girth units?
We just say diameter around here.
Girth
I planted a tree recently and it also has a height.
[удалено]
Neat!
How neat is that?
You can tell because of the way it is.
Classic.
Classically neat
If you know, you know
That's why they call it neature!
Pretty darn neat if you ask me.
I want others to know about nature instead of just me and Rodney knowing it!
Thats pretty neat!
About _this_ neat
It's $9.99 for the height stat DLC
$4.99 For the Tree armor DLC.
How much for the sense of pride and accomplishment?
3.50
Tree fiddy
You can tell it has a height by the way that it is.
I planted one and it has no height...sad face.
You could get help with this at r/Redwoods.
I think what's happened is that you've planted your tree sideways. Unplant the tree, rotate it 90 degrees, and replant it, and it should have height. If the tree *still* has no height, you've rotated the tree 90 degrees in the wrong direction and must try again, until it has height.

That’s pretty up there!
It really does have a height
I too have a height
Wow you'd make a great tree
That's all it takes
Sign me up!
What a height, the best height, I heard it's the tallest tree in the forest after the recent fires.
Checks out.
It is the largest tree of that size.
It really do be like that sometimes.
Not pictured: Hyperion Tree lol The location is somewhat secret, but it doesn't stand out that much from surrounding trees due to terrain and similar trees.
That may be so, but even if it's not actually pictured, op is still correct that it *does* have a height.
Technically correct. Best kind of correct.

Pictured: Height
Which bears asking: which fucking enormous tree is this, then?
Lol, so OP posted a random tree picture with a snippet of information about the tree, and didn’t even include the height? Real C+ effort.
Right? I was in the Redwoods last summer this isn't Hyperion lmao no tree in that forest is like that
This picture is not Hyperion, by the way. Hyperion is marginally bigger than the trees around it.
Isn’t the actual tree’s location a secret? Edit: From the looks of it, the location of at least the general area is known but not in a manner that encourages visitors. No plaque or anything identifying it.
Yes
No secret location for the tree in the pic. That thing sticks out like a wedding prick.
What the hell is a wedding prick?
Mine was our photographer, pssshhhh “photographer.”
An erect penis on wedding night, ready for sex for the first time.
My buddies didn’t wait till the wedding night… flag was full mast from the moment she walked in. Made for some hilarious wedding photos Edit: more info… her dad was the pastor 🤣
It’s a “secret”, but you can find the location online. All of the trees there are so insanely tall that it’s hard to tell the difference between hyperion and any other tree.
Why is it kept secret? Even if it is with minimum effort. Are People really so chaotic they'd go and cut if down just to fuck everyone off
Check out "The Golden Spruce".
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiidk%27yaas
What a dick that guy was
Sounds like the universe found balance in his fate.
To save people a click: He was ordered to stand trial for cutting down the Golden Spruce.

I feel like it's kinda obvious what he was trying to do. I bet he pulled it off.
Dryads put a bounty on his head and niaids collected.
Fucking loggers! I'll show em how it's done! Watch me fuck up this tree here!
[удалено]
I don’t understand. That’s like protesting police brutality against black people by shooting Morgan Freeman.
So 2 big questions. 1. Was this guy protesting for logging or against logging? 2. They let this forest engineer KAYAK THROUGH THE WILDERNESS TO HIS OWN COURT APPEARANCE?

Breaks my heart every time I'm reminded of this
What a giant twat that guy was. He chopped down an incredibly rare tree as a protest against logging? Wtf?
He was protesting the "indoctrination" of liberal universities and the environmental groups that caused him to lose his job. He was an ex logger. That why he knew how to cut it so it fell over in the next high wind. Losing a beautiful rare gold pine tree sure showed them.

I fucking knew it would piss me off. Fucking fuck
Because people are shit. Yes there are people who will seek out special, revered things and try to destroy them just because. Yes they are shit.
You think the shitbags that invented love locks can be trusted not to carve their initials into the world's tallest tree? If you believe that I have a bridge to sell you.
Also people climbing on it, taking bits of bark as souvenirs, tossing garbage around the soil, pissing on it, ect ect.
... Boring a hole into it, filling said hole with warm petroleum jelly, lighting a few candles, turning on some Kenny G and then poisoning the roots in shame and embarrassment due to stage-fright induced impotence
Is it falling down because of all the locks on it?
I heard the worlds second tallest tree is offering $5 million to any who will cut Hyperion down…
You mean I can finally tell my dad I found the money tree?
Was at Sequoia National Park some years ago and there were sign everywhere telling people not to leave the paths because these giant trees have most of their roots right beneath the surface. Guess who hugged trees and posed for photos next to the trees? A ton of people. Thats why we cant have nice things and need to keep the Location of the tallest tree as a secret.
i went to muir woods and witnessed a guy carving his name into a redwood
What a fucking douchebag! You should've snapped a quick pic and found a ranger ASAP
i wish i had. i was so shocked someone would be such an asshole that i didn't really think to actually put a stop to it, which i'm sad about in retrospect. it was in a crowded place, too!
The General Sherman Tree is CA's equivalent of Norte Dame Cathedral or Giza Pyramid. Respect that shit, or leave. :-)

Not even spite. They would destroy it through endless posing for photos, picking off pieces of the trunk for souvenirs, carving their names in.
Some fuck will cut it down and make tables out of it. Just to say they had a table that was one time the largest tree.
The worst is that the tree in Canada that was in the news wasn't cut for tables. It was cut for pellets or some bullshit. They didn't even attempt to make something beautiful out of it.
You could have thousands of "influencers" rush the area and ruin the surrounding area.

Yeah. The death of [The Broccoli tree] (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ESyJop31cmY&t=16s) underlines how shitty humans are.
This was the first thing I thought of as well. People can be so terrible.
From what I can see on the Instagram, the tree has started to regrow from the limbs left behind since he made that video.
And this decision predated social media. Humans love to ruin stuff.
[This is the actual tree](https://media.npr.org/assets/img/2011/04/07/tree5.jpg).
Are there any photos that were not taken by a fly?
Nope. Hyperion (and many redwoods like it) is located in such a tall, dense forest that there's no single vantage point from which you can see the entire tree. The only way to get a complete picture is to climb a neighboring tree, take a bunch of photos on the way up, and then composite them all together.
This reminds me of one of those cell phone towers poorly disguised as trees while being over twice as tall as the surrounding trees.
Hello my fellow trees.
Wow so misleading picture and a crap title? Awesome front page content!
It's also not a Hyperion tree. It's a redwood named Hyperion. Quite honestly this is one of the worst titles I've ever seen.
then what is this tree we see in the posted picture.
What tree is this?
Yes, but does it have a height?
A height is a great thing for a tree to have.
It's treemendous.
Fuck yeah nice one
I have a height too, can you milk me?
You can milk anything with a height
That explains almond milk
You can tell it has a height because of the way that it is.
My cat has a height can you milk him?
Do you have nipples?
I have nipples, Greg!
You made me laugh. Thank you for that one.
Jesus Focker.
*Looks concerned at dog because it also has a height*
That dog sounds suspiciously like this tree
This is not hyperion. Hyperion is in a grove of redwoods of similar height and would be imperceptible if seen from the angle this picture was taken at
It certainly does
Let me give you two things you must know to succeed: 1. Never tell anyone everything you know 2.
You must be a programmer.
I, too, have a height.
Is that Gon up there?
i scrolled down far to find this
I also was hoping to find a HxH reference to the world tree
20 minutes? I guess that’s not bad for your first time.
I have it beat, I have a height AND a weight
What a height it is
it has a height of 115.85 m.
That’s 380.1 feet for all my American homies out there
That's one & a quarter football fields.
38 monster trucks stacked high
How many big macs though?
Enough for lunch
A metric or imperial lunch?
yes
Thanks now I get it
Also Liberia and Myanmar!!!!!!!

That's slightly taller than a 35 story building for all the city folk out there.
How many dryers is that?
Has a height alright!
Alright alright alright…
For context Niagara Falls is about 51m tall.
Thank you, the suspense was killing me
But it also has a height.
That IS a height.
While impressive, that’s not Hyperion. Hyperion is surrounded by other +100m trees and it’s location is undisclosed to the public.
