The Tule Tree of Mexico is one of the most iconic tourist trees located in Santa Maria del Tule, a small town in the humble state of Oaxaca, Mexico. Like the Lone Cypress Tree mentioned above, this tree does not have a sacral background attached to it but it is sure to surpass all other trees on this list in terms of its size and mass.
This colossal tree measures more than 160 feet in circumference with a staggering weight of 550 tonnes, making it the largest living tree in the world. Unlike most of the popular myths and legends where giants are easily taken down by their small foes, this massive tree is almost 3 centuries old making it also one of the oldest living creatures on earth.
It is located near a church in Santa Maria del Tule where hundreds of locals and visitors come every year to witness its awe-inspiring size. It is believed that there are only seven of these enormous trees known to be alive today. And are all found in Mexico making it their national tree.
