The Champion Tree is located in Glencoe Farm, near Hoedspruit, Limpopo and had a trunk diameter of 15.9 m (52 ft).

The tree divides into several trunks close to the ground.

The main trunk had lowered into the ground a long time ago.

In November 2009 the tree split in two parts, opening up an enormous hollow.
