which is the larjest tree in world?

Answer 1

The General Sherman Tree in Sequoia National Park is the largest (by volume) tree in the world.

Computing the volume of a standing tree is the practical equivalent of calculating the volume of an irregular cone. For purposes of volume comparison, only the trunk of a giant sequoia is measured, including the restored volume of basal fire scars. Using these accepted standards and actual field measurements taken in 1975, the volume of the Sherman Tree was calculated to be slightly over 52.500 cubic feet (1486.6 meters).
Here are the statistics of the tree (one ive founded)More Sherman Tree statistics:

Height above Base 274.9 ft. / 83.8 m.
Circumference at Ground 102.6 ft. / 31.1m.
Maximum Diameter at Base 36.5ft. / 11.1m.
Diameter 60' (18.3 m) above base 17.5 ft. / 5.3m.
Diameter 180' (54.9 m) above base 14.0 ft. / 4.3m.
Diameter of Largest Branch 6.8 ft. / 2.1m.
Height of First Large Branch above the Base 130.0 ft. / 39.6m.
Average Crown Spread 106.5 ft. / 32.5m.


That's all hope that this helps thankz!

Answer 2

Is General Sherman Tree. Largest Tree In World, Standing 275 Feet High And 103 Feet In Circumference

Answer 3

The General Sherman Tree in Sequoia National Park is the largest (by volume) tree in the world.

Answer 4

While the rest are right with the largest tree...The General Sherman..which is the biggest by volume..the TALLEST living tree is the Stratosphere Giant measuring 112.7 m (370 ft) as of July 2004. This coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) was discovered by Chris Atkins (USA) in August 2000 in the Rockefeller Forest of the Humboldt Redwoods State Park, California, USA.

The precise location of the giant tree is always kept secret by the Park Rangers in case enthusiastic tree fans accidentally damage its fragile environment. The second tallest tree living, known as The Federation Giant, measures 112 m (368 ft) and also lives at the Humboldt Redwoods State Park.

Answer 5

The Giant Sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) is the largest living species of tree on earth. The Sequoia is native primarily to the Sierra Nevada Mountains of eastern California.

The largest Sequoia is the General Sherman tree with a height of 250 feet and a diameter near the base of 24.75 feet. The trunk of the tree weighs almost 1400 tons or equivalent to 15 adult blue whales.

Answer 6

I am not entirely certain that this is the largest tree in the world however having had a read it seems to be a tree of great substance and this would be the Banyan Tree...

What is an Ash Tree ?

Eastern Edge of Aldershot....

Answer 7

The world's largest tree, a giant sequoia growing in California's Sequoia National Park, just keeps getting younger. The massive conifer, named General Sherman in 1879 by admirers of the Civil War general, may be little more than 2,000 years old, according to a U.S. Geological Survey study.

Answer 8

redwood rate as the largest, but more interesting is the longest lived tree (as a single specimen) and that right is reserved for a horribly stunted and twisted bristlecone pine. If you want large and old, look to the cypress in old swamps in the americas, else the Baobob trees on the other side of the world.

Answer 9

The largest tree in the world (by volume and weight), and the biggest, most massive organism alive today, is called General Sherman, and is a giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum). It stands in Sequoia National Monument, in the western Sierra Nevada Mountains, California. This tree is 274.9 ft. tall (83.8 meters), has a diameter of 36.5 ft. at the base (11.1 meters), and is estimated to have a volume of 52,500 cubic ft. (1,486.6 cubic meters). In lumberman's terms, this one tree probably contains 630,000 board feet of lumber. (A board foot is 12 in. x 1 in. plank that is one foot long.) Luckily, since this tree is protected, it will never be cut down and we will never know for sure how much wood could be cut from it. It is approximately 2,200 years old, and is apparently still growing vigorously.Trees of this species are also known as sierra redwood, or simply Big Tree, and are called Wellingtonia in Europe, where it was introduced over 150 years ago. Several specimens in England are already over 100 ft. (30.5 meters) tall. The Morris Arboretum has a few specimens which are only around fifty years old but are already at least 60 ft. (18.3 meters) tall.In their native California, they are a high sierra tree, growing at mountain elevations between 4,500 and 8,000 feet (1,370 to 2,440 meters) above sea level. The average specimen reaches about 250 ft. (76 meters) at maturity, with a diameter at the base of around 15 ft. (4.6 meters). Although the growth rings are extremely close together, meaning the tree expands only slightly in girth each growing season, adult trees of this species are thought to grow faster than any other tree in the world: In just one year, the average giant sequoia tree gains enough wood to make a sixty-foot tall, three-foot diameter oak tree! The maximum lifespan of this species is thought to be about 3,000 years; that's a LOT of wood. This tree once grew in dense forests, which covered millions of acres. Now only about 2% of these forest stands are left; all the rest have been cut down for their lumber, and all of this logging occurred in the last 150 years
