Introduction to the world's largest tree, General Sherman Tree: General Sherman tree is the world's largest tree, 83.8 meters high, with a maximum diameter of 11.1 meters at the bottom. General Sherman tree is located in Sequoia National Park, California, USA. It belongs to giant sequoia (also known as "the Lord of the world") and is about 2300-2700 years old. General Sherman's tree was measured at 1487 cubic meters in 2002. The Sherman tree is neither the highest known tree on earth (the highest tree on earth is the almond Eucalyptus), nor the broadest (this honor belongs to the baobab tree in the sun), nor the oldest.
If the tallest tree in the world is the almond eucalyptus with the height of 156 meters in Australia, then the biggest tree in the world is the Sherman general tree in the United States. If you don't see this tree with your own eyes, it's hard to imagine how big it is. In short, a few data scare you. The tree is 142 meters high, 31 meters around (what's the concept) and 27 years old In 2000, there were more than two million leaves.
The largest tree in the world, General Sherman tree (1487m3)
In the world record, the tallest General Sherman tree has a height of 142 meters, only 14 meters shorter than the tallest Eucalyptus almond tree in the world. However, its girth, trunk, leaves, total volume and importance are much higher than that of Eucalyptus almond. It is also considered to be the largest and stocked organism in the world. One of the Sherman trees in the giant fir National Park in Nevada is 83.8 meters high, with a maximum diameter of 11.1 meters at the bottom and a tree circumference of 31 meters. It takes about 20 people to hold the tree. There are more than 2 million leaves. No one has ever photographed him in one picture.
The world's largest tree, located in Redwood National Park, California, USA, is about 2300-2700 years old.

The Sherman tree is neither the tallest tree in the world, nor the broadest (this honor belongs to the baobab tree in the sun), nor the oldest. But in terms of volume, it is the largest existing single tree on earth.
In Sequoia National Park, there are also groups of towering Metasequoia, which are both tall and thick. Chinese people are used to calling huge and ancient trees sacred trees, and American Metasequoia National Park is the hometown of the sacred trees. Generally, when tourists visit the Metasequoia National Park, they will stop at the huge forest village first. There are tourist service center and some small wooden house gift shops here. After the second stop, they will take photos at Sherman general tree for souvenirs. They will walk along the path and feel happy and refreshed. There are some huge collapsed trees that were deliberately hollowed out to let cars pass through the middle of the tree trunk. It can be seen from this that the largest tree in the world is really amazing. Look at the picture and you will know how big it is.
