oldest tree in the entire world?
However, Pando, a stand of 47,000 quaking aspen clones, is estimated to be between 80,000 and one million years old.[18][19][20] The stress is on the difference between the singular "oldest tree" and the multiple "oldest trees", and between "oldest clone" and "oldest non-clone". The oldest known individual tree (that has not taken advantage of vegetative cloning) is a Great Basin bristlecone pine over 5,000 years old (germination in 3051 BC).[21] WIKI | A press release from Umeå University says that a Norway spruce clone named Old Tjikko, carbon dated as 9,550 years old, is the "oldest living tree".[17] |
