Query: What is the trunk circumference of the Angel Oak in South Carolina?
Angel Oak is a Southern live oak (Quercus virginiana) located in Angel Oak Park on Johns Island near Charleston, South Carolina. The tree is estimated to be 400-500 years old.[1] It stands 66.5ft (20 m) tall, measures 28ft (8.5 m) in circumference, and produces shade that covers 17,200 square feet (1,600 m2). Its longest branch distance is 187ft[2] in length. Angel Oak was the 210th tree to be registered with the Live Oak Society.[3][4][5]
In the historical graveyard of the church stood a White Oak, sometimes called the "Holy Oak", until 2017. It was 600 years old, possibly the oldest white oak in the world. It was nearly tall and had a spread of more than . It has a trunk circumference of and its lower branches were supported.
The Mango trees have an average trunk circumference of but each tree has its own character with trunks gnarled and burled in different patterns. The largest circumference is with the smallest circumference measuring . The average height of the trunk up to the first major fork in the tree is but varies from tree to tree, the tallest measuring and the shortest . The average total height of the Mango trees measured (by use of a clinometer) was ; however these figures are approximate because of the difficulty in accurately sighting the top of each tree.
The tree is over 500 years old. It has a trunk circumference of , a spread of , and a height of . The tree is surrounded by a wooden fence except for a path leading to the ladder which gives access to the hole in the trunk; the hole is approximately off the ground and 30 cm (1 ft) wide. Since the mid-1990s, the crown has been roped to prevent its collapsing. In 2014 a fungal infection ("Laetiporus sulphureus") was detected in the trunk and branches; branches have been shortened to reduce wear and the cabling renewed.
Modern trends are to cite the tree's diameter rather than the circumference. The diameter of the tree is calculated by finding the mean diameter of the trunk, in most cases obtained by dividing the measured circumference by π; this assumes the trunk is mostly circular in cross-section (an oval or irregular cross-section would result in a mean diameter slightly greater than the assumed circle). Accurately measuring circumference or diameter is difficult in species with the large buttresses that are characteristic of many species of rainforest trees. Simple measurement of circumference of such trees can be misleading when the circumference includes much empty space between buttresses. See also Tree girth measurement
Baobabs reach heights of and have trunk diameters of . The Glencoe baobab, a specimen of "A. digitata" in Limpopo Province, South Africa, was considered to be the largest living individual, with a maximum circumference of and a diameter of about . The tree has since split into two parts, so the widest individual trunk may now be that of the Sunland baobab, or Platland tree, also in South Africa. The diameter of this tree at ground level is and its circumference at breast height is .

The largest branch measured from trunk to tip and the circumference of outside branches was nearly . Its age had been estimated at a thousand years, but on its demise it was found to be two trees, of 325 years each which had long ago grown into one.

The Seven Sisters Oak is the largest certified southern live oak tree. Located in Mandeville, Louisiana, it is estimated to be up to 1,500 years old with a trunk that measures in circumference, with a height of 68 feet and crown spread of 139 feet. This oak is also the National Champion on the National Register of Big Trees and the Champion Oak of Louisiana, according to the Louisiana Forestry Association. The owner who first named the tree was Carole Hendry Doby, who was one of seven sisters. There are seven sets of branches leading away from the center trunk. The Seven Sisters survived a near direct hit from Hurricane Katrina in August 2005.
The Wye Oak was believed to be over 460 years old at the time of its destruction during a severe thunderstorm on June 6, 2002. It measured in circumference of the trunk at breast height, high, with a crown spread of . It is believed that the acorn that became the oak germinated around the year 1540.

Its crown measured in diameter and in height. The tree's trunk measured in diameter. The tree's circumference measured at the base and at from the ground. As the virgin forest around it had been lumbered, the tree towered over the surrounding secondary forest.

Dr. Edwin Lewis Stephens, president of Southwestern Louisiana Institute (University of Louisiana at Lafayette) from 1900 to 1938, founded the Live Oak Society in 1934. In 1957, responsibility for maintaining records and registering new applicants was assumed by the Louisiana Garden Club Federation, Inc. According to Society bylaws, the only human member permitted in the Society is the honorary Chairman, who is responsible for registering and recording live oak members. The only requirement for becoming a member is that the live oak must have a girth (trunk circumference) of 8 feet (2.4 meters) or greater, measured 4.5 feet (1.37 meters) above ground.

There is a large, old oak tree in Divljana. It is "zapis" ("inscription"), a holy village tree. A custom originating in pre-Christian Slavic mythology, a large, usually oak tree, would have a cross carved into its bark, and then it would serve as a temple. Oak trees were sanctified in the settlements which had no church of their own. Circumference of the Divljana oak trunk is , diameter is , while the diameter of the crown is . The tree is tall. Experts from the Niš Institute for the natural protection estimated that it sprouted in c. 1400.
