| Often referred to as “the Patriarch,” Bristlecone pine (Pinus longaeva) is the oldest known organism on earth, some being recorded to reach over 4500 years in age. Their ability to survive depends upon a small part of the tree which continues to grow despite the death, thousands of years ago, of a large portion of the same tree.
