The Big Tree (Oda)

The Big Tree is a tree near the town of Akim Oda which is 66.5 m (218 ft) tall and 396 cm (13 ft) in diameter, and believed to be the biggest tree ever discovered in Ghana and West Africa. It is a member of the species Tieghemella heckelii.^[1] It is located in the Esen Apam Forest Reserve, about 22 kilometers from Akim Oda, about 300 m (1,000 ft) off the Oda-Agona Swedru trunk road.^[2] The tree is known to be between 350 and 400 years old, and has a low natural generational success rate which is a contributory factor to its likelihood of extinction.^[3]^[4]
