wow i like your post

I've never seen a tree look this old and it's still not giving up. Wait...did it turn itself inside out?

5066? I think it slightly past it's peak 😆

I think this is the oldest single living tree. There is another 'tree'- actually a forest of trees connected under ground by their roots which is meant to be 10,000-30,000 years old. I think this is the oldest living organism on Earth.

Very narly lol

beautiful photo.

This is one beautiful tree.
Great Photograph!

Woah! That is the coolest thing!

Did they visit Africa, we have some set of old vegetation within the mangrooves and the rainy forests across the equator.

Wow, didn't know it could be so old!!!

Its incredible anyway but such information amazes me in that l ponder over the criteria and the extent which they take the survey to....how do they come out with their findings...cos trust me guys there are more trees l find here in Ghana and have been told which may be more older than this tree posted as the oldest...will possibly find and attach pictures of such trees..but thanks a
million for sharing...Thanks to Steemit.

very beautiful

I saw that! Sitting and looking at it got almost spooky when you convince yourself it is still alive and has been there before the Pyramids were built.
