I’d like to know how the scientists know those core samples don’t bother the trees. What does the tree do, in that arid environment, to fill in that hole and fight off other life forms that want to invade that hole?
The holes are plugged after the corer is removed and in the summer some sap resin will tend to infill the holes and cracks. There is something special about sitting down next to a living creature thats over a thousand years old let alone over 4-5000 yrs old .Older than most religions older than most human cultures. In the Uk the oldest trees tend to be the ancient Yew trees still growing in church yards ... they were there before the churches. The oldest is estimated as possibly 4,000yrs old but its centers gone.
The core or the inside of any tree is like the skeleton. Nothing is happening. Its dead. Whats alive is the exterior part like the bark and the cambium. Those parts are like the blood veins of the tree. While the core is just a building part justlike how coral works.
Keep the wildfires at bay please ...if you have to use small controlled brush burns the Redwoods bark can withstand those ...but not the uncontrolled firestorms of the past twenty years.🏞️🌲🔥
In 1993, when I was 40, I bought my first house,.there were some old trees that came with the property, an arborist told me their height would help me identify its age. He said trees have been known to grow about 10 feet a year. My trees weren't ancient,....they weren't as old as my house, which was built in 1905. It would have been 88 years old in 1993. My trees we guessed, were around 60 years old. Based on its height and trunk circumference.
What causes the demarcations, i.e., the lines, between yearly rings? I mean, the tree doesn't mark a calendar for 1 year, then draw a line, so what exactly causes the annual 'end of year' lines?
Each ring represents the seasonal growth variation theres a wider spring sumer element and then a thinner winter dark part look at a piece of end grain timber or a cut log you will see the ring bands... Good years more growth wider rings, bad years little or no growth in the ring. Fire burns the bark it leaves a scar on the living layer beneath. Growth tends to be biased towards the sheltered side...if the land slips the trees grow up with a hocky stick curve at their base... always a warning sign if you fell grown trees on a slope like this you may be inviting a landslip.

this tree in Utah in the running .The Trembling Giant, or Pando, is an enormous grove of quaking aspens that take the “forest as a single organism” metaphor and makes it literal: the grove really is a single organism.

In 2005, I had this peculiar dream, that I had an ancient tree on my property. In the dream I wanted to cut down the tree, as a means of protecting my house, from a possible wind storm, that could knock it down.Still in the dream, I learned that it would cost $1,000.00 to have it cut down, and I couldn't afford that. When it was known I wanted to cut it down,....some tree historians offered to take down my tree for free, indicating my tree was designated as a "witness tree". Meaning it witnessed a hundred years of history, in Columbus, Ohio. That made it special and worth salvaging all the wood from it. Still in the dream: I sold my tree to these tree historians, for around $300.00. Later I regretted that, since it was regarded as an ancient tree. And I had learned they were worth, many thousands of dollars. When I awoke, I Googled that. Why I dreamt that, is anyone's guess. But it turned out it was something that is real. Tree historians try to save & preserve all ancient trees. Like ones that witnessed Civil War battles,...and were standing on the grounds where historic battles were fought. They try to keep them alive for as long as is possible. Then when they are taken down, the wood is used for special commemorative items such as plaques & gavels.
Love this report, but as for me, the oldest Tree is the Tree of Life which is within all living forms of Thoughts Materialized in our World, including this Pine tree.
There are those in Israel who claim that an olive tree in the Garden of Gethsemane is 2,000 years old. Everybody has an oldest, fastest, biggest, smallest, heaviest, something.
How impressive! To think that these trees are @4000 years old…and they came from trees before them! So how far back do these tree’s current genetic make up go back? Millions and millions of years before I would imagine. I liken it to use us current primates as the example. We are constantly changing, but we, genetically as a species, have been around for an estimated 200,000 years. How many generations is that? Evolution is amazing.
Earth : behold the worlds oldes tree that i have grown for...... Scientists : lets just see about that I take it they tested this on lots of other trees to see how they heal and also on younger versions of the same tree to make sure its ok after a 1000 more years, anything we do for the better is only for our selfs most times and not always in the best interest of what we study
I believe in Noah's flood when everything on this earth was destroyed. So regrowth of all trees and vegetation can be dated back to the century after the flood happened.
Given that oxygen is generated by trees, and all vegetation on the planet would have been killed by a worldwide flood, one wonders what Noah and all the animal would have been breathing in the years and decades after it was over, and how plant life would "regrow".
Reality is not based on belief. It is a timeless movement outside the dimension of thought, ideation, and conditioning. Belief is the movement of the past, as thought, facing the present. It singularizes reality. What is timeless cannot be experienced by thought. Thought is constantly rebuilding the thinker, which is separation. It invites, "I am this, I must become that." Any movement of a conditioned mind is the movement of the past. This invites conflict and duality. A dualistic mind cannot experience reality. It only stores it's perceptions to reinforce itself, which is the past. It uses the present as a means to it's end; furtherance of the self.
We have seen the Bristlecone Pines on the Eastern Slope of the Sierra Nevada. They are beautiful. Like windswept, timeless Bonsai trees.
Shut. Up.
Mother Nature would love hearing this story or anything about Planet Earth. 🌴🌲🌎💙💚
Truly amazing
Great story! 👏
Magnificent , sculpted by the elements into works of art ,standing old , dignified remnants of the ancient past
Amazing and fascinating.

Soon they'll get a device that will judge the ages of trees.

The great basin national park in nevada has these magnificent trees also, nice story learned alot more cool facts😁
Wonderful report, thank you!
As an arborist, this is much appreciated 🌲
I wish I could cut the tree down and smuggle the wood out. That wood is worth a lot of money.
@@mrbojangles9841 good thing they didn't leak the location!
Amazing
And as the bird flies about 50 miles west of there are the largest trees in the world in the Sequoia National Forest.

I recall in college the story of Donald Rusk Currey in the 1960s. Truly an epic fail in researching these ancient ones.
I have been here; it's a long 2 lane road to get there but so worth the trip.
To put this in perception, this tree was already 1,000 years old when the wooly Mammoths died.
Wow that’s absolutely amazing!!
First time I've seen Professional Tree Huggers
Interviewer looks like Johan Mayer and the tree guy looks like Steve carrel!

02:38 The tree section is in the shape of Australia.
All trees are beautiful to look at. I would like to learn how to find out the age of trees.
This makes me want to go listen to Enya’s album, “The Memory of Trees.”
Fascinating topic
Methuselah was the oldest person according to the Bible so that’s a good name for the oldest tree.
Amen.
The next oldest should be 'Keith Richards'.
difference is the tree is real. bible is just fiction.
Yup!
it was an ugly tree!
What causes the demarcations, i.e., the lines, between yearly rings? I mean, the tree doesn't mark a calendar for 1 year, then draw a line, so what exactly causes the annual 'end of year' lines?
Each tree has its own tree fairy, or "dryad"--and she places a ring beneath the bark each year to renew her love.
They are called Growth Rings. So I assume the tree grows during a certain part of the year and when it stops some substance (tannin?) is deposited.
Each ring represents the seasonal growth variation theres a wider spring sumer element and then a thinner winter dark part look at a piece of end grain timber or a cut log you will see the ring bands... Good years more growth wider rings, bad years little or no growth in the ring.
Fire burns the bark it leaves a scar on the living layer beneath.
Growth tends to be biased towards the sheltered side...if the land slips the trees grow up with a hocky stick curve at their base... always a warning sign if you fell grown trees on a slope like this you may be inviting a landslip.

Have they been all over the world to know if these are the oldest.????
It will leave a hole that bugs will crawl into. Don't be daft.
The hole is plugged. With fish sticks.
Stop having to invade them to study them, like some alien. Leave them alone, period.
Love this report, but as for me, the oldest Tree is the Tree of Life which is within all living forms of Thoughts Materialized in our World, including this Pine tree.
Got to see these amazing!!!!
I don't think they should drill in to them.
I wonder if they patch the holes up with tree sap or something. I'm sure they're conscientious and don't drill too much.
My future self I hope

So is the oldest dead tree then?
Please check out Wonderhussy Adventures on TH-cam. She visits many places remote, including visiting these trees. Cheers!
This was disappointing! I thought that different trees from different areas of the country would be covered.
@@ramenlover1727 My tree is a live oak and 400 years old at least! So glad I don't live in a desert.

Just leave them alone.... Stop studying an old tree, it's old, leave it! Would you want to be drilled? Stop guessing that it does not bother it
Lies !
you would think oldest trees would be in Asia or Africa

Why?
The age of these trees prove there was no Noah’s Flood.
