    The diameter of the thickest tree is meters. Details: In a voluminous botanical work published 100 years ago, the trunk diameters of some famous tree species were listed.

    The thickest of them is the chestnut tree, which is 20 meters in diameter. The following are Mexican lupus, meters in diameter; plane wood, diameter meters; Taxus lanceolata, m in diameter; giant sequoia, 11 meters in diameter, baobab, in diameter; broad-leaved linden tree, 9 m in diameter; Eucalyptus, 8 meters in diameter, ....... It can be seen that the trees that grow thick are often some trees that are not too tall, such as the chestnut tree is no more than 30 meters high, the Mexican luch is about 40 meters high, and the baobab tree is only more than 20 meters high.

    All over the world, the stout trees are mostly some ancient and famous trees that have gone through the green mulberry. For example, the ancient ginkgo tree in Dinglin Temple in Ju County, Shandong Province, China, with high rice and chest circumference, is said to have lived for more than 3,000 years. There is an ancient camphor tree that is more than 2,000 years old in Guangxi, China, with a height of 30 meters and a diameter at breast height.

    In Kagoshima Prefecture, Kyushu, Japan, there is one of Japan's largest camphor trees, 30 meters high, with a diameter of meters around the trunk at a distance of meters from the ground. According to the 1985 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records, the three thickest trees in the world are: a Mexican fallen fir in Oaxaca, eastern Mexico, which is meters tall and meters above the ground; A European chestnut tree on the European island of Sicily, measured in 1972 with a trunk circumference of meters; A baobab tree on the African continent with a trunk circumference of more than meters and a diameter of meters.

    Of these three unusually stout trees, the most famous is the European chestnut tree in Sicily. Growing at the foot of Mount Eitlie, the tree was famous for its huge canopy that sheltered the king and his retinue of more than 100 people during the medieval reign of the Kingdom of Aragone, and is now one of the island's most scenic attractions. European millet, also known as sweet chestnut, is produced in Eurasia and northern Africa, nuts are edible, wood is excellent, can be used for construction, furniture, joinery.

    It is native to eastern Mexico, distributed north to southwest Texas, USA, and south to Guatemala. These two trees rarely have a DBH of more than 4 meters in their native areas, so the Mexican larch tree and the European chestnut giant tree of Ganwei rice are both grown over thousands of years in a specific environment, and are one of the most precious botanical heritages in the world. As for the baobab tree, this book is dedicated to it and will not be repeated here.

    As the saying goes, "it's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree". Do you know what trees are breathtaking? Let me give you a science popularization!

    The largest tree in diameter in the world

    According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the world's thickest tree is the Hundred Horse Chestnut Tree, also known as the "Hundred Horse Tree", which grows on the slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily in the Mediterranean. The trunk is up to one meter in diameter and has a circumference of 55 meters. It is not only the thickest tree in the world, but also the thickest plant in the world.

    The official tree name of the "Hundred Horses Chestnut Tree" is the European chestnut (castaneasativa), also known as the sweet chestnut, which is a native tree species in Europe, and is also found in northern Africa and western Asia. Its nuts are edible and its wood is excellent, which can be used as wood for construction, furniture, and joinery. Although the Hundred Horse Chestnut Tree is up to one meter in diameter and is the thickest tree in the world, it is not the largest tree, and the largest tree in the world is the General Sherman Tree.

    Why is this world's thickest tree called the Hundred Horse Chestnut Tree? Legend has it that Yani, the queen of the ancient Arabian kings, once led a hundred horsemen to Mount Etna to play, and suddenly it rained heavily, and the hundred horsemen hurriedly ran to this big chestnut tree to take shelter from the rain. The huge and dense canopy of trees is like a natural canopy, sheltering the hundreds of riders from the heavy rain.

    Therefore, the queen happily called it the "Hundred Horsemen Great Chestnut Tree".

    Some people may ask, since it was the ancient Arabian queen who escaped the rain, then this hundred-rider chestnut tree must have a long lifespan, indeed. Although the Baiqi big chestnut tree has experienced many vicissitudes, it is still lush and fruitful. There is a large hole in the lower part of the trunk, and chestnut pickers often use it there as a temporary dormitory or warehouse.

    The largest tree in the world with a canopy

    A banyan tree in Bangladesh whose canopy can cover about fifteen acres of land and is the size of a football field.

    The Bengal banyan tree is not only densely foliage, but it also takes root from the branches. Some of the roots hang in mid-air and absorb moisture and nutrients from the air, which are called "aerial roots". Most of the aerial roots reach the ground and penetrate into the soil, where they absorb nutrients and support the branches.

    The erect aerial roots, like the trunk of a tree, can have more than 4,000 roots at most, and from a distance, it looks like a forest. Therefore, the locals also call this banyan tree "single tree forest". It is said that an army of six or seven thousand people once cooled under a large banyan tree.

    Locals also set up a bustling market under an old Bengali banyan tree. There is no canopy bigger than this in the world.
