“Trees can be record breakers: they can be one of the oldest living {{w|organism}}s in the world: Californian specimens of {{w|Sequoiadendron giganteum}}, the Wellingonia or Big Tree, are believed to be at least 4,000 years old. They can also be the largest form of life: a {{w|Taxodium mucronatum|Montezuma Cypress}} which grows in {{w|Santa María del Tule}} in Mexico — and which, incidentally, is about 2,000 years old — has a circumference measuring 54 {{w|metre}}s (178{{w|Foot (unit)|ft}}) and is 40 metres (130ft) high. Its weight is estimated to be about 500 {{w|Tonne|ton}}s.”
