The largest tree in the world can reach a diameter of 11 m and weighs 2800 tons

We all know that trees can live for a very long time as long as they are not extensively cut down. Today, the largest tree in the world is still alive, and it grows in the Sequoia National Park in the Sierra Nevada, United States.

Its name is "General Sherman." It is the largest tree in the world. It is 83.5 m tall, its diameter reaches 11 m, and its trunk circumference reaches as much as 31 m.

It takes more than 20 people to wrap their arms all the way around this tree. By 1985, "General Sherman" already weighed 2800 tons, and it is said that at that time its age had already reached 2300 to 2700 years.

The volume of each main branch of "General Sherman" is equivalent to that of a whole tree. In the 19th century, "General Sherman" was unfortunately cut down, so today it is protected in every country!
