between 15-5000 years. There are some forests that have been continually occuped by trees ( not the same ones obviously ) since before the rockies or Swiss alps were created...thats staying power eh ?
We have 3 pines in front of my home office that are looking a bit nervous...i'll be playing with the chainsaw next weekend. I've already told them, they are happy with it.
We have a few trees on our land, the age varies, here's a few examples of thier age:
Yew - 400 yrs, no sign of giving up.
Oak - a whole wood of oak that is 300 yrs old
Black alder - 100yrs
Birch - 30 yrs
Apple - 60 yrs

The redwoods that you can drive through are thousands of years old.
Some oaks in britain are over 1000.
I suppose it depends on the habitat, but trees are more than likely to be the oldest living things on earth, unless there are creatures at the bottom of the ocean that remain undiscovered, and are older.

the oldest living tree is a Pinus Longaeva (Bristle cone pine).
It is 4844 yrs old and can be found at Wheeler peak, Nevada, USA.
The Giant Sequoia found in the Sierra Nevada USA lives to 3000+ yrs
All ages have been determined by examining the growth rings from tree trunk core samples.

The timber replaced into tremendously prized by using the early French who spoke of because it bo d'arc or timber of the bow - the muse of the be conscious Ozark. so a ways as i comprehend farm animals won't feed off of the tree although I even have seen previous cows p.c.. them up and chew on the dried 'apples'. We used to have them in numerous pastures. The end result are no longer secure to eat yet dried they are able for use to maintain bugs and small rodents away. a minimum of that replaced right into a undemanding concept and use whilst i replaced into transforming into up.
