FROM: Wikipedia:
Pando (Latin for "I spread"), also known as The Trembling Giant,^[1][2] is a clonal colony of a single male Quaking Aspen (Populus tremuloides) determined to be a single living organism by identical genetic markers^[3] and one massive underground root system. The plant is estimated to weigh collectively 6,000,000 kg (6,600 short tons),^[4] making it the heaviest known organism.^[5] The root system of Pando, at an estimated 80,000 years old, is among the oldest known living organisms.^[6]

Pando is located in the Fishlake National Forest, near Fish Lake at the western edge of the Colorado Plateau in South-central Utah.
