Wallpaper Description:

Nature

"Depending on how you measure Arbol del Tule, a Montezuma Cypress, it either has a diameter of 14.05 meters or 9.38 meters.

Either way, it is still larger than the Giant Sequoia in California that has a diameter of 8.98 meters that comes next.

The discrepancy between measurements is derived from the odd shape of the tree in Tule.

The 9.38 meter figure represents Arbol del Tule if you merely wrapped a measuring tape around the trunk instead of adhering to every curve.

Some have mentioned that Arbol del Tule might have been several separate Montezuma Cypresses joined at the base over an approximately 1500 year span.

However, scientists performed DNA tests and concluded that the tree is a single tree – a real-life Tree of Life.

This evidence still leaves open the possibility that several trunk sections merged over the years, but that cannot be confirmed without cutting open the tree." https://diytravelhq.com/arbol-del-tule/
