I don't know why I've chosen this number for the title, because it can be 42 or 40 or 14.36 or 816.829 or 2,000 or so ... I mean the “Tuleko Tree”: Tule, Oaxaca, Mexico.
Taxodium mucronatum is a copy of Monctezuma altzifrea. The locals call the “old tree of water” with the word “ahuehuete” of the Nahuatl language. It is one of the thickest known trees, with a trunk of 14.36 meters in diameter and a height of 40 meters. It is considered to be 636 tonnes of weight. It's estimated to be about 2,000 years old. It's sacred to the natives, and our authority there is cypress.
