The Full Story
The giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) is the tree species famous for the widest trunks. The General Sherman Tree, the best-known example, does not have the widest recorded diameter, but it is the largest tree by volume. Individual giant sequoias can reach very broad trunk diameters, often well over 8 meters and in exceptional cases more than 11 meters. Their massive size is supported by thick bark and long lifespans that can exceed 3,000 years.
