Another record

[nan]

something like that

A 1000-Year Carbon Isotope Rainfall Proxy Record from South African Baobab Trees (Adansonia digitata L.)

maybe all wrong

[Richprins]

Oldest tree!

[Klipspringer]

nan and Richprins

there are many species with older trees

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_oldest_trees

but maybe oldest angiosperm


There is another record for Baobabs

Thickest trunk!

Their vast bulk makes them a strong contender for the world's largest tree. Adansonia digitata can reach 82 feet in height, and 46 feet in diameter around the trunk.

The largest Adansonia digitata baobab currently in existence is thought to be the Sagole Baobab, located near the rural town of Tshipise in Limpopo Province, South Africa. It stands 72 feet high and has a crown diameter of 125 feet.

Possibly the stoutest tree. The Sunland Baobab on Sunland Farm (Platland Farm), had a diameter of 10.6 m, but most of the tree died in 2016 and 2017.

El Árbol del Tule is a tree located in the town center of Santa María del Tule in the Mexican state of Oaxaca. It is a Montezuma cypress (Taxodium mucronatum). It has the stoutest tree trunk in the world. In 2005, its trunk had a circumference of 42.0 m, equating to a diameter of 14.05 m, an increase from a measurement of 11.42 m in 1982. However, the trunk is heavily buttressed, giving a higher diameter reading than the true cross-sectional of the trunk represents; when this is taken into account, the diameter of the 'smoothed out' trunk is 9.38 m. This is slightly wider than the next most stout tree known, a giant sequoia with a 8.90 m diameter.
