There is a living tree with the biggest diameter.
The tree with the greatest diameter is located in Oaxaca state, Mexico.In 1998, this cypress was 42 m (137 ft) tall and had a girth of approximately 126 ft and a diameter of 38 ft.
Due to abuse over the years, the tree is now in 3 separate pieces.The tree is the greatest girth ever.
The largest girths are usually attributed to African baobab trees, with a measurement of 43 m.Measurers need to make sure that it is indeed one mass, rather than a few fused together.
If 10 medium sized cars were placed end-to-end in a circle, this would be the same size as the tree.
This was updated according to the letter received from Ron Hildebrant in October 2002.
