List of oldest trees#Clonal trees

File:FallPando02.jpg, a colony of quaking aspen, is one of the oldest-known clonal trees. Recent estimates of its age range up to 14,000 years old, and 16,000 years by the latest (2024) estimate.{{cite web |last1=Pineau |first1=Rozenn M. |last2=Mock |first2=Karen E. |last3=Morris |first3=Jesse |last4=Kraklow |first4=Vachel |last5=Brunelle |first5=Andrea |last6=Pageot |first6=Aurore |last7=Ratcliff |first7=William C. |last8=Gompert |first8=Zachariah |date=2024 |title=Mosaic of Somatic Mutations in Earth's Oldest Living Organism, Pando |url=https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.10.19.619233v2.full.pdf |doi=10.1101/2024.10.19.619233 |pmc=11526904 |pmid=39484516}} It is located in Utah, United States.]]

This is a list of the oldest-known trees, as reported in reliable sources. Definitions of what constitutes an individual tree vary. In addition, tree ages are derived from a variety of sources, including documented "tree-ring" (dendrochronological) count core samples, and from estimates. For these reasons, this article presents three lists of "oldest trees," each using varying criteria.

There are three tables of trees, which are listed by age and species. The first table includes trees for which a minimum age has been directly determined, either through counting or cross-referencing tree rings or through radiocarbon dating. Many of these trees may be even older than their listed ages, but the oldest wood in the tree has rotted away. For some old trees, so much of the center is missing that their age cannot be directly determined. Instead, estimates are made based on the tree's size and presumed growth rate. The second table includes trees with these estimated ages. The last table lists clonal colonies in which no individual tree trunks may be remarkably old but in which the organism as a whole is thought to be very old.

The current record-holders for individual, non-clonal trees are the Great Basin bristlecone pine trees from California and Nevada, in the United States. Through tree-ring cross-referencing, they have been shown to be almost five millennia old.{{Cite book|

A clonal colony can survive for much longer than an individual tree. A colony of 48,000 quaking aspen trees (nicknamed Pando), covering {{convert|106|acre}} in the Fishlake National Forest of Utah, is considered one of the oldest and largest organisms in the world. Recent estimates set the colony's age at several thousand (up to 16,000) years, although tree ring samples date individual stems at rarely more than 130 years.{{Cite journal|last1=Rogers|first1=Paul C.|last2=McAvoy|first2=Darren J.|date=2018-10-17|title=Mule deer impede Pando's recovery: Implications for aspen resilience from a single-genotype forest|journal=PLOS ONE|volume=13|issue=10|pages=e0203619|doi=10.1371/journal.pone.0203619|issn=1932-6203|pmc=6192553|pmid=30332420|bibcode=2018PLoSO..1303619R|doi-access=free}}{{Cite journal|last1=Ding|first1=Chen|last2=Schreiber|first2=Stefan G.|last3=Roberts|first3=David R.|last4=Hamann|first4=Andreas|last5=Brouard|first5=Jean S.|date=2017-07-05|title=Post-glacial biogeography of trembling aspen inferred from habitat models and genetic variance in quantitative traits|journal=Scientific Reports|volume=7|issue=1|page=4672|doi=10.1038/s41598-017-04871-7|issn=2045-2322|pmc=5498503|pmid=28680120|bibcode=2017NatSR...7.4672D}}{{cite web |url=http://discovermagazine.com/1993/oct/thetremblinggian285 |title=The Trembling Giant |access-date=8 May 2008 |publisher=Discover Magazine |date=1 October 1993 |author=Grant, Michael C. |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120517104725/http://discovermagazine.com/1993/oct/thetremblinggian285 |archive-date=17 May 2012 |url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=http://waynesword.palomar.edu/ww0601.htm#massive |title=Botanical Record-Breakers |access-date=7 May 2008 |publisher=W.P Armstrong |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101219095825/http://waynesword.palomar.edu/ww0601.htm |archive-date=19 December 2010}}{{cite web |url=http://www.fs.fed.us/database/feis/plants/tree/poptre/all.html#BOTANICAL%20AND%20ECOLOGICAL%20CHARACTERISTICS |title=SPECIES: Populus tremuloides |access-date=8 May 2008 |publisher=USDA - United States Forest Service |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120905182908/http://www.fs.fed.us/database/feis/plants/tree/poptre/all.html#BOTANICAL%20AND%20ECOLOGICAL%20CHARACTERISTICS |archive-date=5 September 2012 |url-status=live}} A colony of Huon pine trees covering {{convert|2.5|acre}} on Mount Read (Tasmania) is estimated to be around 10,000 years old, as determined by DNA samples taken from pollen collected from the sediment of a nearby lake.

Clonal trees

As with all long-lived plant and fungal species, no individual part of a clonal colony is alive (in the sense of active metabolism) for more than a very small fraction of the life of the entire clone. Some clonal colonies may be fully connected via their root systems, while most are not actually interconnected, but are genetically identical clones which populated an area through vegetative reproduction. Ages for clonal colonies, often based on current growth rates, are estimates.{{citation needed|date=March 2014}}

It may be more than 60 million years old. The Wollemi pine clones itself, forming exact genetic copies. It was thought to be extinct until a tiny remnant population was discovered in Wollemi National Park in 1994... There is also substantial evidence that the tree has been cloning itself and its unique genes ever since it disappeared from the fossil record more than 60 million years ago."{{cite web \|title=Where the old things are: Australia's most ancient trees \|url=https://theconversation.com/where-the-old-things-are-australias-most-ancient-trees-65893 \|website=The Conversation \|date=18 April 2017 \|access-date=4 May 2023}}

A critically endangered species, known only from 6 wild individuals, first described in the 1980s. Based on the size and growth rate of its lignotuber, the largest single specimen is estimated to be 3,000 years old. However, it is possible that two other specimens are actually the result of a split in the original rootstock, and based on their spread of 26m would be estimated at 13,000 years old, potentially the oldest single tree on earth.{{cite web\|url=https://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/resources/nature/recoveryplanDraftEucalyptusRecurva.pdf \|title=Eucalyptus recurva (a mallee) Draft Recovery Plan\|year=2002\|publisher=National Parks and Wildlife Service NSW\|location=Sydney, Australia}}
