Glencoe Baobab is the second largest baobab tree and the oldest tree in South Africa, located on Glencoe Farm, near Hoedspruit in Limpopo Province. The tree split in 2009 and 2017, creating several trunks and an enormous hollow. Its earlier measurement before the split was 52ft (15.8m) trunk diameter, 154ft (46.9m) circumference, 56ft (17m) height, and 121.6ft (37.1m) crown spread.
