General Sherman tree
I believe it must be "Árbol del Tule", a Montezuma Cypress in Mexico, which has been claimed to weigh 636 tonnes. The figure is possibly not very reliable, but I guess it is still over 500 tonnes in weight. The biggest Giant Sequoia, General Sherman, has almost double volume, but the density is only about 0.30 kg/dm³ (a figure I just found somewhere, so don't trust it), so it should weigh about 450 tonnes (possibly more). For the largest Coast Redwood, Lost Monarch, I also calculate 450 tonnes. Sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%81rbol_del_Tule
