      The tallest plant is the giant sequoia, the largest of which is in California and is 115 metres tall

      Like Caroline said- the tallest is the giant sequoia. You could also make an argument for the quaking aspen, particularly one individual in Utah named Pando. It’s just one tree, but it has over 47,000 stems that look like their own trees. They’re all connected through their root systems underground and are all part of the same plant!
