Where is the worlds largest tree found?
Depends on what you consider a single tree. The General Sherman is the largest non-communal organism on Earth. It is a Giant Sequoia located in Sequoia National Park, california. If we include communal organisms, Pando in Utah is the largest. It is a colony of genetically identical aspen trees, all connected by a single root system. Each of it’s estimated 47,000 individual trees are just stems of the main underground structure.
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.
