The oldest tree known to date was discovered in 2004 in Sweden. It was a Norway Spruce whose root system was radiocarbon-dated to 9500 years ago. The stem portions average 600 years and then die back but the root system sends up another shoot.

The oldest living tree is a Bristlecone Pine in the White Mountains of California. By counting rings from a core sample it was dated to 5000 years ago.
