Sagole Baobab (South Africa)

Age: 1,213

Sagole Baobab is the largest baobab and the second oldest tree in South Africa, located east of Tshipise, Vendaland, in Limpopo Province. The tree has a diameter of 34.3ft (10.47m), a circumference of 107.9ft (32.8m), a height of 72.1ft (22m), and a crown diameter of 125.3ft (38.2m. Sagole Baobab is the third stoutest tree in South Africa after Glencoe and Sunland Baobabs and takes about twenty people, joined with out-stretched hands, to fully encircle it. Some parts of the tree collapsed in 2009 and 2016.
