The President Worlds Largest Tree

The President

The President is the world’s second largest tree. Its 3200 years old!

Its so big that it has been impossible to photograph it in its totality. Now for the first time a picture has been stitched together from multiple images that gives us the full scope of its true size: 27 feet in diameter, 247 feet tall, 54 thousand cubic feet of wood and bark, and 2 Billion leaves!

It took a team of people 32 days and 126 separate pictures to create this image.
