Where is the oldest living tree located?
“The oldest living tree known is a Bristlecone Pine known as “Methuselah” located at an elevation of 10,400 feet in the White Mountains on the California-Nevada border. The tree is estimated to be 4,767 years old. It stands about 55 feet tall, with a misshapen oval-shaped trunk measuring about 4 1/2 feet wide.” Other bristlecone pines are comparable in age, but this is thought to be the oldest. Incidentally, these are thought not only to be the oldest trees but also the oldest living organisms in the world. Sources: http://www.distant.ca/UselessFacts/fact.asp?
