The Huon Pine | A 10,500 Year Old Tree in Tasmania

One of the world's oldest trees is in Tasmania. Despite the odds, this gentle giant still stands today. The Huon Pine is a significant symbol of Tasmania's ancient land. Thousands of square kilometers are protected under World Heritage. Magnificent walking tracks allow visitors to explore the untouched wilderness and breathe in the world's freshest air.

While elsewhere in Tasmania, out of sight, vast tracts of virgin primordial forests with up to 180ft forest giants are clear felled, wood chipped then napalmed.

And all the biggest & tallest trees were deliberately & miraculously left out of that 60, 000 hectares of WHA to be forever destroyed by lease industrial logging.. amazing.

Just to be clear - this is a clonal tree they're talking about, not a single individual tree. The title's slightly misleading.

Hermosa naturaleza 😍 pero creo los árboles se regeneran dia a dia así que el de 10500 años será regerado dia a dia?

If it's a Clonal tree then it's different from an 'Individual' tree like the Methuselah Bristlecone Pines with a trunk mass bore sample dated to 5, 000 years.

This is an ad so I take any claims about a 10, 500 year old tree with a grain of salt. Especially since it's not reported as such anywhere else.

I don't think any individual 🌲 is 10, 500 old, I think the stand of Huon Pines, has been cloning itself for that long through vegetative propagation, i.e branch dips into ground, grows roots and so on.

Which tree is it; This is just an advertisement, what a

[trinnysaysno]

Bet the trees like: oh no, the destroyers seen me. It's been a good 10000 years...

Such a joke after seeing the Tassy woodchipping videos...no care!
