The Senator Tree Destroyed By Fire And Collapsed, Big Tree Park, Longwood, Florida, United States

As of 1993, The Senator was estimated to be 3,400-3,600 years old, the 5th oldest tree in the world. The tree's volume had previously been estimated at 4,300 cubic feet (120 m3), but a 2006 survey by Will Blozan of the Native Tree Society has measured the volume at well over 5,100 cubic feet (140 m3), making The Senator not only the largest Pond Cypress in the United States, but also the largest tree of any species east of the Mississippi River.
