Árbol del Tule, a Montezuma cypress in Santa María del Tule, Oaxaca, Mexico, is considered one of the world’s oldest, largest, and widest trees. Its trunk is the stoutest in the world, with a circumference of 137.8 ft, and it takes 30 adults to encircle it. Some estimates suggest the tree is between 1400–3000 years old, meaning it was growing when the ancient city of Monte Albán was being established. 

I’ve always loved trees. I often draw them showing their roots. I can’t wait to meet this one.
