I think this would have to be the Banyan Tree in Maui, Hawaii or another Banyan tree which I think is in Australia. These trees have one main trunk and then many other trunks and can keep taking root and grow. The one is Maui is as wide as a good size house. Other than that probably one of the Redwood trees would be it.

I do believe that was the tree that sits near the Acropolis. I do not remember how wide it was, however, it should be about 4-5 meters in diameter. that's about 15 feet.
A car had crashed into it in 1974 If I recall correctly, and the tree has been protected behind a chained fence ever since.
Funny enough, the tree suffered no damage at all.. lol

Depends on what country you are speaking of. The banyan in India can grow 3 miles long with roots that reach down and implant into the ground.
In Michigan there are "champion" oak trees that are at least 3 feet in diameter and canopy that can span 1/4 acre. Look in www.ask.com for "Champion trees". Records are kept somewhere.

The largest tree, not the tallest, is a Giant Sequoia located in Sequoia
National Park in the southern Sierra Mountains of California. It is called
The General Sherman. It is the largest living organism on Earth. It is about 275
feet tall and 36.5 feet in diameter. It is about 2,300 to 2,700 years old. One
of it's neighbors it The General Grant
