Thimmammamarrimanu, the largest tree specimen in the world

English:

Thimmammamarrimanu, the largest tree specimen in the world.

Unpronounceable by nature, Thimmammamarrimanu was recorded as the largest tree specimen in the world in the Guinness Book of World Records in 1989. Funnily enough, it was located not very far from the city where I was living - and volunteering - in India from July 2015 until July 2016: Anantapur.

On a Sunday morning, the only day off we had during the week, some other volunteers and I decided to go there to see that tree with our own eyes. While we had expected to see a huge tree, the truth is that the Thimmammamarrimanu looks like a dozen trees together because it's very difficult to see its origin, its main stem.
