Saerdha brushes his tail for him, at least :3

he probably had to go in with scissors the first time to cut out all the matted fur

The fact that the location of the world’s oldest tree has to be kept secret encapsulates everything that’s bad about humanity.

There’s a story about that, actually.

According to the smithsonianmag.com, the world’s oldest bristlecone pine was a nearly 5,000 year old tree later named Prometheus. In 1964, a man named Donald Rusk Currey decided to use an increment borer to determine its age (a process that cuts a small hole into the center of the tree trunk, and is not intended to kill the tree). Unfortunately, the borer got stuck. He and a park ranger cut the tree down to remove the equipment, and when they counted the tree rings, they realized their mistake. Oops. This incident lead to better protection of the remaining bristlecone pines.

There’s some wiggle room about what can be called “the world’s oldest living tree.” The world’s oldest living single tree is the tree that the OP is referring to. Its name is Methuselah,and it is also around 5,000 years old. Since its location is unknown, nobody knows what it looks like. But it might be this tree here:

But technically, it isn’t the oldest living tree. Let me explain.

It turns out that root systems of trees can send up genetically identical saplings (aka clones) via their root systems. Like so:

Which means the original trunk can die, but since the root system is attached to other trees which give it nutrients, it lives on. The root system can theoretically do this indefinitely. So the tree trunks could be fairly young, but the roots could be large and very, very, very old. So the oldest “tree” isn’t a small grove, it’s a logic-defying forest.

I’d like you to meet Pando.

This male quaking aspen covers 106 acres and is ancient. I’m talking an estimate of 80,000 years. The trees you can see are just “shoots” he sent up, and their average age is 130 years old. He is his own forest. If trees could talk, I’d love to hear what he had to say.

He might be dying, due to insects and drought (hmm, wonder what could have happened to cause that). A section of Pando is being studied in an attempt to find a solution. But in the meantime, we can enjoy him for his beauty.

TLDR: Yes please, protect the trees from humans!

His name is Zenos he is very POWERFUL and very COOL and VERY SEXY and everyone is afraid of him. He’s so strong he can beat up the Warrior of Light and he beat all of Doma on his own. He likes SWORDS and he collects swords and his sheath has THREE SWORDS in it and when he draws his swords you know he is about to win the fight immediately. He loves to FIGHT and all he wants to do is fight the STRONGEST people but he’s too strong and always wins too easy. HE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING EXCEPT FIGHTING. NOTHING. He never shows ANY emotions and is always bored because he can’t find anyone strong enough to fight. He’s so mean he kills his lieutenants and they’re all afraid of him. He also had experiments done on him to give him dragon powers and he can possess dragons. He is the emperor’s son but he doesn’t care about the emperor all he wants to do is fight strong opponents. HE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING EXCEPT FIGHTING.
