Which is twenty times the height of what everyone else deems to be the World's tallest tree (Hyperion, at 380')
No tree is 1.5 miles in height. You read something wrong. That would be 6x the height of the empire state building. Go check again. I don't even have to look it up to know it's wrong.

Growing in ELEVATIONS between 5,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level.
I think 8000 feet was supposed be elevation. I thought they was in South America, but must just redwood trees?

It is the preposition that is incorrect. It should be "at" 4,000-8,000 ft - not "to" 8,000 ft. We are from CA and these redwoods grow at those elevations.
