O, the stories this WISE OLD TREE could tell! Imagine if we lived this long…Our GLORIOUS LORD, CHRIST JESUS, is STILL LIVING TODAY…What would we be able to reveal to the younger generation about the past??? Would we now make MUCH BETTER DECISIONS TODAY based on A MATURE KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORD OF GOD…and our RACE for eternal future REWARDS…or would we still succumb to YOUTHFUL foolishness and WASTE our INHERITANCE???

IT IS EVEN A VAPOUR, THAT APPEARETH FOR A LITTLE TIME, AND THEN VANISHETH AWAY.

The tree with what is likely the largest diameter is El Arbol del Tule, an Ahuehuete or Montezuma Cypress growing in Oaxaca, Mexico in the town of Santa Maria del Tule. The trunk of the tree is 33 feet in diameter and has a circumference of 178 feet. Originally thought to be multiple trees that had grown and fused together, DNA tests have shown that it is actually all one tree. From Wikipedia: The age is unknown, with estimates ranging between 1,200 and 3,000 years, and even one claim of 6,000 years;[6][7] the best scientific estimate based on growth rates is 1,433-1,600 years.[8] Local Zapotec legend holds that it was planted about 1,400 years ago by Pechocha, a priest of Ehecatl, the Aztec wind god, in broad agreement with the scientific estimate; its location on a sacred site (later taken over by the Roman Catholic Church) would also support this.
