    Yes. Yes, it is.

    It is said to be the tree with the largest diameter on earth. I have visited three such trees. This one, though, looks to me like the actual largest one.

    Is it actually one tree, no Titanism (eating its offspring)?

    One ramet, no genets. This is just one tree.

    But for full disclosure, I have to report that the word on the street is that this tree is falling apart and is either already dead or will be soon.

    That’s a BFT if I ever saw one.

    What kind of tree is it? I have visited the General Sherman redwood in Kings Canyon, which is a HUGE tree, both in diameter and height! Where is this tree?
