Spruce is one of the long-lived tree that can reach the age of about 100-1000 years, and even record to be the oldest tree in the world through the pine species from the Great Basin Bristlecone Pine (Pinus longaeva) who in 2008 was 4840 years old! This tree is between 30-80 meters high but the average height 15-45 meters. The highest tree species from the Sugar Pine, while the shortest is Potosi Pinyon pine and Siberian Dwarf Pine
Jomon Sugi 2000-7000 year
according to wikipedia, Jomon sugi is Japan's oldest cypress trees found in 1968, with a height of 25.3 meters with an estimated volume of 300 cubic meters was between 2000-7200 years Yakushima Island is located in the northernmost part of Japan's 40 minutes by plane from Kagoshima Airport .
Norway Spruce Ione 9550 year
Only 4 feet tall, but a kind of pine tree, which still lives in Sweden, known 9550 years old.Life since the last ice age, the tree is listed as the oldest in the world today.
Ione Norway spruce species was discovered in 2004. The researchers found around the bush mountains at an altitude of 910 meters in the province of Dalarna, Sweden. This tree is not rare because people often use as a Christmas tree.
"He was a very long most likely triggered emampuannya clone yourself," says Leif Kullman, professor eologi and environment at the University of Umea, Sweden. Stems and branches are known to survive for 600 years. Kullman explained, when the stems die, new stems will be formed from the roots so that his age becomes very long.
This tree is older than Bristlecone pines in the White Mountain California only 5,000 years old. The oldest Bristlecone pines survive only up to 7,500 years but grew towering up to 150 meters. If age is measured from the Bristlecone pine tree on branches that are monitored each year, age is measured from the spruce in Sweden in radiocarbon traces its roots.
Kullman stated that trees older than 9550 years impossible. Therefore, the whole area is still covered with ice the possibility of Sweden at that time.
