This is the oldest tree in the world! age is 5484 years

You must have seen many such trees around you which will be very old and huge. There are many such trees in the world which are hundreds of years old. One such tree is in the Alres Costero National Park in southern Chile. This Cypress Tree Cab is believed to be the oldest tree in the world. Cyprus is called Sanauvar in Hindi.

Let us tell you that to say the oldest means that the age of this tree is more than all the trees present on the earth. Due to its age, scientists also call it ‘Great Grandfather’. Ecologist Jonathan Barichevich of the Climate and Environmental Sciences Laboratory in Paris said that the age of this cypress tree is 5484 years. For this information, according to the volume of the tree, the computer model was checked. It is an extinct species of tree. Earlier the Methuselah tree of Bristlecone Pine, located in White Mountains, California, was said to be the oldest tree. Its age is 4853 years but the age of Great Grandfather is 5,484 years. According to this, Grandfather is the oldest tree.

Regarding this, Jonathan told that through computer model, we have found out the story of 80 percent of its growth. There is only a 20 percent chance that this tree will be less than the stated age. Because the trunk of this tree is 4 meters in diameter. Therefore its rings could not be calculated. This tree has broken the record of the oldest tree in the past.

Ed Cook, director of Columbia University’s Tree Ring Laboratory, says that if we cannot calculate the inner rings of the tree, it is difficult to determine its exact age. But the technique by which Jonathan has calculated the age of this tree can be almost accurate. It is confirmed that this tree is more than 5000 years old. At the same time, Jonathan says that some scientists do not agree with this revelation, but this cannot be an accurate way to find out the exact age of the tree without making a hole or cutting it.
