Oldest Trees on Earth - Bristlecone Pine

Our own intrepid explorer Henry made the trek out to see one of the oldest living things on earth, the Bristlecone Pine



"For eons the bristlecones (Pinus longaeva & aristata) have flourished atop the arid mountains of the Great Basin, from Colorado to California, enduring extreme hardships and silently adjusting to their environment. Their exquisite beauty was known to few. Their great age was known to nonenot until 1953."
