The Oldest Individual Tree in the World, Nicknamed "Methuselah" after the longest-lived person in the Bible, dates to 1957 and has been alive for more than 4,800 years old (4,854 Years as of 2022).
This 1,400-Year-Old Bristlecone pine on Mount Washington in Nevada’s Great Basin National Park is so iconic its image is stamped on the back of some U.S. quarters. For decades, bristlecone pines, which can survive for up to 5,000 years, were thought to be the planet’s oldest living things. Now a tree in Chile is posing a challenge.
By combining a partial core sample with computer modeling, researchers in South America believe they can show that this Patagonian Cypress Tree, also called an Alerce, towering out of a ravine in Chile, is At Least 5,000 Years Old, which would make it Earth’s oldest living tree. Some experts are skeptical. Photograph By Jonathan Barichivich

Scientists Discover World's Oldest Tree in Chile
In Chile's Alerce Costero National Park, scientists have discovered what they believe to be the world's oldest living tree, "Gran Abuelo," estimated to be over 5,000 years old. This Patagonian cypress surpasses the age of California's Methuselah Pine and is being studied for its resilience and adaptation to climatic changes over millennia.
