The Mendocino Tree is a coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) located in Montgomery Woods State Natural Reserve in Mendocino County, California.
From 1999 to 2004, it was believed to be the tallest tree in the world, measuring 367.5 feet (112.0 m) tall.
A team led by Stephen C. Sillett measured the height of the Mendocino Tree, which was verified by the Guinness Book of World Records.
[3] Montgomery Woods is remote and "the least visited of Mendocino County's redwood preserves".
[1] Nevertheless, because of the difficulty of managing the large number of visitors to the park wishing to see the tree,[3] and potentially damaging its root system, its precise location within Montgomery Woods remains undisclosed, and difficult to discern among dozens of redwoods that are nearly as tall.
