At over 2000 years old, El Arbol del Tule, which is actually an Ahuehuete Cypress, is amongst the oldest living trees in the world. With a 10 meter (33 feet) diameter trunk it is also considered by many to be the broadest tree in the world. The circumference of the trunk is an amazing 54 meters (178 feet) It is over 40 meters (130 feet) high, boasts a foliage diameter of over 51 meters (170 feet), and weighs over 500 tons.

The various contortions of the trunk give the appearance of the faces of goblins and monsters. In fact, if you visit you will be offered a tour of the tree by local school children (an official project) who will show you all manner of creatures hiding in the tree, including elephants and jaguars! If you click on the images on this page you'll see some of the spooky figures trapped in the tree.

This great ahuehuete specimen is still alive and growing, as can be seen by the dense foliage reaching 43 meters into the sky!

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. New age estimates for this and several other famous giant sequoias -- including the General Grant tree, known as the "Nation's Christmas Tree" -- are found in an article by research ecologist Dr. Nate Stephenson of the USGS Western Ecological Research Center in the botanical journal Madroño.

The General Sherman tree measures 275 feet tall and 30 feet across at the base. Early estimates placed the tree's age at 5,000 to 6,000 years, and later at 2,500 to 3,500 years, as techniques for estimating sequoia ages have become more accurate.
