World's oldest tree
Apr 19, 2008, 11:51
Interesting article from yesterdays Telegraph
‘The world’s oldest living tree has been found in Sweden, a tenacious spruce which took root just after the end of the last ice age’
The tree is 9,550 years old and was found amongst a ‘cluster of around 20 spruces over 8,000 years old.’
The bit that caught my eye was,
‘Ten millennia ago, a spruce would have been extremely rare and it is conceivable that the ancient humans who lived there imported the tree.’

good eh?
