I’m astounded the Pennsylvania Big Trees website lists an #AmericanSycamore #Platanus_occidentalis with a 198’ (60.3 m) average canopy width. I definitely want to take a field trip to confirm the size of this #BigTree because that size is bewildering — apparently making this the widest tree on a whole continent!

My favorite claim is about the #HundredHorseChestnut — a #SweetChestnut #Castanea_sativa and not a Horsechestnut! — with a purported trunk circumference of 190’ / 57.9 m and presumed diameter of ~60’ / 18.3 m, by far the largest of ANY #BigTree ! Sadly, it seems quite unlikely this #Tree — which is still around! — ever had a single trunk that was actually such a size.

Just thinkin’ about the #YellowBuckeye #Aesculus_flava that formerly grew near Elk River, #WestVirginia & was measured at 177.6’ (54 m) tall in Mar. 2009. Surprisingly, this means until quite recently Yellow Buckeyes were the third-tallest #tree species in Eastern North America (after E. White Pine and Tuliptrees). This #bigtree was reportedly 196’ (59.7 m) when alive, although this is apparently *somewhat* exaggerated.

Just heard #thicktrunktuesday is a thing here. Who else has stood next to the #IfatyTeapot (aka #TeapotBaobab) in Madagascar? Apparently it’s over 1,200 years old. I’m extremely honored to have been in her presence. 🌳

My dad was a forester his whole career. I think this would be in Oregon ~1970s. A sort of sad #ThickTrunkThursday post.

Seems it's #ThickTrunkTuesday , so:
a beautiful Douglas fir from Smuggler Cove in BC Sunshine Coast (Canada).
The photo doesn't do real justice to the tree, but these barks seem like a whole ecosystem in themselves.
