The world's largest tree

The World Tree (also known as the General Sherman Tree)

Trees are very important green plants on the earth. They not only provide oxygen for the survival of living things but also add vitality to the earth. As is known to all, trees have a very long lifespan. Some trees have even lived for thousands of years. Today, the editor will share with you a tree that is called the largest tree in the world. It has an extremely long lifespan. It is said that it sprouted in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Isn't it astonishing? 

This tree, known as the largest in the world, is located in California, USA. It grows in the famous Redwood National Park. And people have given it a very imposing name: The World Tree (also known as General Sherman Tree). 

In 2002, a professional testing agency measured its volume. The measurement data showed that the volume of the World Tree was 1,487 cubic meters and its age was 2,300 to 2,700 years. That is to say, when this tree first sprouted, China was still in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Its entire life has witnessed more than half of China's history. Not only is its growth period quite long, but its weight is also astonishing. The World Tree is about 80 meters tall. Its circumference is so large that it takes 20 adults holding hands in a circle to embrace it, which is over 30 meters long. The lowest branch on its body is also over 40 meters above the ground. 

According to a series of data people have mastered, the weight of the World Tree is at least over 2,000 tons. It is hard to find any plant in the plant kingdom that can surpass it.

If the wood of the World Tree were used to build houses, the wood from just this one tree could build 40 medium-sized residences.
