Spoiler This is a fun question also. Just for curiosity sake will say the Quaking Aspen forest. It may be Pando, but looks like there may be even older forests. By theory, this whole forest is one giant clone, from a tree that keeps sending up new branches (trees) and is really, really old, and really, really big, so big they can only estimate the size and age. 6 million kilograms and 80,000 years are bigger than I can imagine.
Largest or tallest? Different trees claim those titles. Spoiler The tallest tree in the world is called Hyperion and is growing in an undisclosed part of the Redwood National Park. It's 379 feet 4 inches tall. By volume it would be the General Sherman Sequoia in the Giant Forest of the Sequoia National Park. It's shorter than the Redwood but the volume of it's trunk measures to about 1487 cubic meters.
Spoiler Tallest tree ever recorded is the Hyperion Tree. The widest tree ever recorded is the Sunland Baobab tree. The oldest tree ever recorded is the Methuselah tree which has been aged at between 2,300 and 2,700 years old.
Spoiler Bigger as defined in the dictionary bespeaks of the tree Sequoiadendron giganteum with the largest of its species the General Sherman. There are trees that are taller(A Mystery Redwood) and trees that are wider(Santa Maria Arbor del Tule)but the general has them beat. Unless of course........MUSIC MISTRO!!............If you go down to the woods today, you're sure of a big surprise. If you go down................ We're just having too much fun, Jerry
The General Sherman is a giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) tree located in the Giant Forest of Sequoia National Park in Tulare County, California. By volume, it is the largest known living single stem tree on Earth.[1] The General Sherman Tree is neither the tallest known living tree on Earth (that distinction belongs to the Hyperion tree, a Coast redwood), [2] nor is it the widest (that distinction belongs to the Sunland Baobab, a baobab tree), nor is it the oldest known living tree on Earth (that distinction belongs to the Methuselah tree, a Great Basin bristlecone pine.[3] With a height of 83.8 metres (275 ft), a diameter of 7.7 metres (25 ft), an estimated bole volume of 1,487 cubic metres (52,513 cu ft), and an estimated age of 2,300 - 2,700 years,[4][5][6] it is however among the tallest, widest and longest-lived of all trees on the planet.
