The most ancient trees on earth. Virgin forest. Why there is no such thing in our blink
For many trees, a few hundred years old is a common phenomenon. The centuries-old giants are found among oaks, pines, ash and other breeds.
For today's top 10, we chose the oldest trees on the planet, whose age exceeds several thousand years. These honorable elders were witnessing generations and epochs, and today are surrounded by honor and attention, attracting tourists from all over the world.
This tree is the biggest on earth. The total mass of Sherman General is 1,900 tons, its height is 84 meters, and the trunk girth at the base is 31.3 meters. The age of the long-lived gig exceeds 2,500 years.
9. Fitzroy Cypress Alece (Argentina)
The age of this is giant - about 3,600 years. For centuries, the tree has reached a height of 57.5 meters, and the diameter of its barrel is 2.3 meters. In the wild, the trees of this species grow only in South America.
8. Zoroastrian Sarv (Iran)
The age of this evergreen cypress - 4 thousand years. The height of the tree is 25 meters, the trunk circle is 18 meters. Iranians with great respect and reverence belong to Sarva, which was erected into the rank of the National Monument.
7. Pine Mafusail (USA)
This tree of the Pine Ostnaya Type grows at an altitude of about 3 thousand meters above sea level. The age of Mafusail - 4,800 years. This is the oldest tree on the ground not a threshing origin. In order to protect the tree from the vandals, employees of the National Park, in which it grows, show Mafusail only a serious scientist.
6. Pine Prometheus (USA)
Unfortunately, from this pine, the age of 5 thousand years, only stump remained. The tree was cut down before scientists were able to assess his age. However, researchers hope. That Prometheus will begin to give new shoots in the very near future.
5. Huon Pine (Tasmania)
This coniferous plant from the nine-folding family has a root system of 1 hectare and age about 10 thousand years. The age of individual poroslevin is about 3 thousand years.
4. Spruce Old Tjikko (Sweden)
According to radiocarbon analysis of the root system tissue, the age of this fir is 9,550 years. However, the pigstream, which appeared from the ancient root system, noted only the 500th anniversary. Older processes were probably destroyed by a forest fire a lot of centuries ago.
3. Creosote shrub (USA)
This is usually a bush plant from the type of Larrea Tridentata reaches about 3 meters in height. In the center of Mojave desert, Creosote bush was discovered with a diameter of more than 20 meters, which exceeds 11 thousand years.
2. Oak Dzhurup (USA)
In the California Valley of Jurup, scientists discovered a huge "stump", from which about 70 poroslevin tall is tall of about a meter. The age of "Stump" is about 13 thousand years. Scientists argue that Oak Djorup witnessed the last glacial period in the history of the Earth.
1. Pando Pando Pando Colonia (USA)
This colony of trees may be the most long-lived organism on our planet. The age of the root system of these thumbs of the poplar exceeds 80 thousand years.

In contact with
It is no secret that the trees live several times longer than a person, and their age often exceeds several hundred years. Few who comes to mind at least the idea that there are plants that let root in the ground long before the creation egyptian pyramids and survived flourishing and sunset not one human civilization.
Scientists quite accurately found that there are about fifty trees on our planet, whose age exceeds a millennial frontier. If you really look at the situation, such plants are actually much more, since many of them are in a hard-to-reach area, and to conduct an examination of all known specimens, taking into account their quantity, in fact not easy.
1. In the "forest of ancient durable pines", or the National Forest Inio, in the east of California, the most old detached tree on Earth is growing - Mafusail. By approximate estimates, it is more than 4,800 years old. It is hard to even imagine that it has already grown before the first pyramid appeared in Egypt! Visitors to the National Forest Inio can familiarize themselves with the relict pines, in abundance of ancient pines growing in this forest, but the exact location of Maluisail is not disclosed because of the fear of vandalism.

P on human standards almost any modern tree can be considered a long-liver. Science is accurately established that at least a thousand-year frontier has already passed since the fifty of them. In fact, such trees are much more, it simply objectively cannot be recorded in full, including the most hidden corners of the planet. And the secret in the long-lived trees there is no. They are not subject to mutations, continue to exist normally, if even part of the body will be lost, therefore live long. In addition, such forest giants, like pines, do not suffer from old age. Some, swallowing three thousand aged, grow no less active than centenary counterpart. Considering the history of durable trees, it is impossible not to mention aspens. Possessing a complex root system, it can survive even in the most adverse conditions. In the case of a powerful forest fire, when the tree is completely fade, the roots will certainly give rise to a new tree. At the same time, among the long-lived trees there are relatives and unicumes.

Giant sequoia Stood next on the list of trees-stolen. The oldest one is 3266 years old. The famous Mammoth Tree "General Sherman", which lived in the light of almost 2700 years, still adds annually in tapping one and a half centimeters.
These larvity records break the clonal colonies of trees, which are a single living organism, why and are included in the list of the oldest trees. The peculiarity of clonal colonies is that they consist only of male plants and breed vegetatively, have one common ancestor and are its accurate genetic copies. 
Pando trees in Utah, USA, - the most ancient poplary colony, known as "trembling giant" (in the photo on the right). It combines about 50 thousand trees with a common root system, covers an area of \u200b\u200b46 hectares. The age of the colony is 80 thousand years.

In Sweden B. National Park Fulfyallet grows the oldest clonal tree - spruce name by Old Tjikko. Although its above-ground part lives only 600 years, the age of its root system is 9550 years old. Scientists managed to detect the remains of this fir, the oldest of which was 9,500 years old. Each of them gave a new escape from which young fir rose with the same genetic code. In the same place in the mountains of Ful found 20 fir years of more than 8,000 years. In the Swedish province of Herielien, spruce is growing Ordinary old ramus, her age is 9,500 years old.

The diameter of the trunk of the oldest juniper 4 meters, height - 26 m, the diameter of the crown - 17 m. Scientists studied the branch that fell from the main part of the tree. Its diameter was 7 cm, she had 550 annual rings. What to talk about the age of the tree itself, the diameter of which is several times more?
The oldest olive trees grow in groves around Mediterranean SeaSome, the oldest of them, more than 2 thousand years. The dried out of the inside, they still continue to produce fruit. It is believed that the somewhat oldest olive in the Garden of the Garden in Jerusalem lived at the time of Jesus. On the photo on the left depicted olives from the Gefseman Garden.
The oldest Japanese cedar (Yakusugi) with the name Dzevel judge is growing in Japan on Yakushima Island (bottom photo). This Japanese cryptomeria (Cryptomeria Japonica) has an age of at least about 2300 years. For other estimates, the age of cryptium can be from 5000 to 7000 years.

This list of the oldest trees on earth can be continued. It is a pity that many trees that come to it are already dead, about the living - sometimes we are attacked by vandals.
Nature has created trees so that their appearance will be very different depending on the season, the geographical location and climate in which they grow. No tree at a certain point in time is not at all like a different tree at the same moment, and no tree at one time does not seem to be at another time.
As far as we consider the tree beautiful, depends on a number of factors. The magnificence of some trees is often coming out for the usual framework of the appearance of their fellow. They challenge the human imagination, so that we can only be surprised by elegance and beauty, which creates nature on our planet naturally. People who had the opportunity to see this tree of greatness remains to hope that these trees do not expect the same cruel end as in countless many trees who died from the unrestrained cutting of the forest feeding human greed. Moreover, the trees from our list managed to survive hundreds and thousands of years, surviving all wars, natural cataclysms and climate change and the stormy human activity.
