Started off as a seed the size of a sesame seed dropped on the branch of another tree some estimated 500 years ago. It would have killed that tree centuries ago.
The crown extends over 2,000 square metres (about the area of 2 olympic sized swimming pools.
Estimated to carry about 1,000 kilograms of leaves. That's not counting all the epiphytes and vines it also carries.
Has a girth of 44 metres and a height of 48 metres (about the same as a 5 storey building).
