Will admit to being a tree freak, partial to those with interesting bark tho. Scroll thru these 10 photos. Some marvelous ones. For instance, Methuselah At 4,841 years old, this ancient bristlecone pine is the oldest known non-clonal organism on Earth. Located in the White Mountains of California, in Inyo National Forest, Methuselahs exact location is kept a close secret in order to protect it from the public. (An older specimen named Prometheus, which was about 4,900 years old, was cut down by a researcher in 1964 with the U.S. Forest Services permission.) Today you can visit the grove where Methuselah hides, but youll have to guess at which tree it is. Could this one be it?
