Some plants are known for their height, others for their age—but a few stand out for their sheer bulk. Across the world, certain species have evolved to store massive amounts of water, nutrients, or structural tissue, making them some of the “fattest” plants on Earth. From giant succulents with swollen stems to ancient trees with trunks wide enough to shelter people inside, these plants often dominate their environments and have become iconic examples of nature’s ability to scale life to enormous proportions. This list looks at 15 of the fattest plants ever recorded, each remarkable not for height or spread, but for their extraordinary girth.
