Oldest Recorded Tree In Existence

Oldest Recorded Tree In Existence

The oldest recorded tree in existence is a Great Basin bristlecone pine tree named Methuselah. Located in the White Mountains of eastern California, Methuselah is estimated to be over 4,800 years old, making it the oldest known individual tree in the world.
