That first photo isnt the hyperion, hyperion is actually surounded by trees that are almost its height, and it also looks a shit ton different.

[@Lil_Ham_fire]

What is the name of the tree in the picture? It looks so amazing how it towers over the rest of the trees!

[@dogsareawesome9197]

@@Lil_Ham_fire No clue, i couldn't find any informatuon on it other than it's in a forest of VERY young redwoods.

[@reesedipherent8416]

It’s deeper then you think

[@GinkgoRobur27]

It's forbidden because a shitload of people used to go try to find the tree. The problem is too much walking around tree roots (for some species) is to compress the soil resulting in potentialy killing the tree. + some of the "tourists" had no respect for the place and let on site a shitload of garbage. So yeah better fuck off from the tree, and the only way for some to understand this is by menacing them with this kind of laws.

[@innertubez]

Keep these locations secret. Otherwise you can be sure some fool will come along to vandalize or kill it. “This is why we can’t have nice things” usually means “this is why humans shouldn’t know about it.”

[@marks6663]

well it would appear it is the government itself which is stopping us from seeing it, not some theoretical future visitors. What moral right does one person have to stop another person from visiting a tree on this planet? A government has no more right to stop me from visiting a tree in a public space than a vandal has to damage it. Yet one is illegal while the other is enforced. At least the theoretical vandal does not tax me before he robs me of the joy of visiting the tree.

[@Stovetopcookie]

We cut down the big ones over hundred years ago. All that's left is the scraps in comparison.

[@Doctor-NOOOOOOOOOOO]

thats why they kept the location of hyperion a secret so idiots dont cut it down for clout

[@timouellette4693]

There was a tree named the 'Nooksack Giant’ up in Washington state that measured 465’ft tall. However, they cut it down. It was a Giant Coastal Sequoia. Even the NY Times did an article about it back then & how awful it was that it was cut down.

[@AspiringDirtbag]

Why’d they cut it down?

[@tauwan0]

not exactly. theres a whole history of companies in the past that cut down so many redwood trees in that park. Hence why they protect the trees by doing their best to keep things secretive.

[@TrySomeFentanyl]

The picture with it towering over all the other trees isn’t real lol. Hyperion is surrounded by trees of similar sizes, and the foliage is so thick that at the ground level you cannot tell its any taller than any tree around it. From an aerial view you also would need to be extremely close to really notice the difference, which no plane or helicopter is going to go that low because foliage can be disorienting from above. Long story short, the real tree, is very well blended in with its surroundings.

[@eMAyeX16]

It looks like the other trees. Visit it yourself

[@captainsalty9022]

I have personally walked across a redwood stump that was 23 feet wide. You have to wonder how tall that one was.

[@CoinOnTheCob]

Many, many people visit Hyperion every year. The Grove of Titans Trail will take you straight to it and even has an elevated hiking platform to protect the area from foot traffic.

[@Muffinman2nd]

there is a tree on this trail that has a stream flowing from under its roots. amazing

[@theabsentmindedprofessor8357]

Imaging the the stories a core sample could tell as to the history of the climate over the last 1000 years. I am amazed it has not been assaulted in the name of science. What a beautiful tree, I wonder how much oxygen it generates daily. The water consumption has to be off the chart.

[@andrejohnson5928]

That's not what real science does.. we can learn far more leaving it alive and unharmed but I'm sure the ppl you listen too give you fever dreams about "science" even tho your entire existence has and will continue to benefit from it

[@HNedel]

It would be the same story all the other 800 year old trees have told already many times. And considering that tree samples that include the last 100 years don’t show any deviation from previous centuries, even though in the last 100 years we have had the most extreme climate ever, probably in billions of years, the value of those rings is quite questionable

[@claydragon6055]

The largest butternut tree in the state of North Carolina is standing by the creek in my grandparents front yard. Im pretty sure it's just the largest in the state and not the country. Next time I go over there I'll have to remind myself to look at the certificate that the US Forest Service and TVA gave them when they came out and measured it. Well anyway it's in Cherokee County,NC.

[@giorgichachua11010]

It's prohibited to visit this tree because last sequoia was cut down to find out it's age which was 2000 year old.

[@georgecarroll1213]

People don’t know there are 5 trees about the same height. The stratosphere tree is 3 feet shorter helox and others are only 3 to 4 feet shorter. Go see the stratosphere tree it will be the same thing as seeing this tree in person only difference is 3 feet shorter.

That's a young tree. It's nowhere near finished growing. It's only about 25% into its lifespan.

been to the real one, absolutely in tact and probably the width of a house. id say the height would be about 300 meters up.

How do they know you're visiting it if they dont know which one it is? How do you stay away from something you dont know where it is?

because the government wants to protect this tree from humans because not all humans are good and they don't want this news to happen to Hyperion. This just happened a months ago; nypost.com/2023/10/01/second-man-arrested-after-robin-hood-prince-of-thieves-tree-cut-down/

Why.

[@lee-tg4jd]

When the settlers came to the new world, they would cut down 20 feet wide trees or something like that.. and they were everywhere, now they try to save trees like that before another dumbass cuts one down. The Spanish and English didn't like Indians, but the French tried to get along with them... if we English did the same, maybe we would have more trees like tht.. but the old world were in demand
