I rated this low sorry, because of the lack of local opportunity to show case this spiritual place. After travelling around the Cape in 1 day, with my heart set on seeing this tree, what a come down there was no sign from the main road to guide the way. I had to drive around to find it. Then was disappointed, there was no seating to sit and enjoy the Mana of the area, heritage and spiritualness of this place. A seating area, caravan selling coffee, club a sandwiches, and a shop selling...

It was a magnificent tree for sure, however as the weather was atrocious it was a very quick stop to view it in the fading light and rain. I was dubious about its claim to being the largest of its species in the world as I'm sure I've seen larger.

The 350 year old tree looked like multiple trees that had merged into one. It seemed as if its own branches were too heavy for the stump to hold up, a possible reason for it being wider than it was tall.
