30 feet around

"The tree measures 30 feet around."
Is this said both in the UK and US?
Are there any other ways to say the same thing?
Thank you.

I suppose one could just as well say that the tree measures nine-and-a-half feet across (although it is harder to make that kind of measurement on a tree. The direct measurement would be taken around the circumference of the trunk-- thus, '30 feet around'. 1 meters around'.

Metric would be '9.1 meters around'.
