World Most Amazing Information

Only 4 meters high, but a kind of pine tree, which still lives in Sweden, known 9550 years old. Life since the end of the Ice Age, the tree is listed as the oldest in the world today.

Ione Norway spruce tree species was discovered in 2004. researchers find it in the bushes around the 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 likely triggered emampuannya length clone yourself," says Leif Kullman, professor eologi and environment at the University of Umea, Sweden. Stems and branches are known to survive up to 600 years old. Kullman explained, when the stems die, new stems will be formed from the roots so that its age is very long.

This tree is older than Bristlecone pines in the White Mountain California which is only 5000 years old. The oldest Bristlecone pines survived only until 7500 years, but grew towering up to 150 meters. If age is measured from the line of Bristlecone pine tree on branches that are monitored each year, age is measured from the spruce in Sweden trace radiocarbon in the root.
Kullman stated that the tree is older than 9550 years impossible. Because, the whole area is still covered with ice of Sweden the possibility that time.

Jomon Sugi is a large cryptomeria tree (yakusugi) located on Yakushima, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, in Japan. It is the oldest and largest of nearly 2,000-year-old-growth cryptomeria trees on the island, and is estimated to be between 2,170 and 7,200 years old. Other estimates of the tree's age include "at least 5,000 years", "more than 6,000 years", and "up to 7,000 years old". The tree's name is a reference to the Jōmon period of Japanese prehistory.

Jomon Sugi is located on the north face of Miyanoura-dake, the highest peak on Yakushima, at an elevation of 1,300 m (4,300 ft). Discovery of the tree in 1968 "sparked moves to protect the forests" of Yakushima and gave rise to the island's tourist industry, which comprises more than half of its economy.

Jomon Sugi is accessible via the Kusugawa Hiking Path (east of Miyanoura) and the Arakawa Trail (starting at the Arakawa Dam), but requires a "four-to-five hour mountain hike" from the nearest road to reach. After the designation of Yakushima as a World Heritage Site in 1993, local officials restricted access to the tree to an observation deck built at a distance of 50 ft (15 m) from the tree.

The tree has a height of 25.3 m (83 ft) and a trunk circumference of 16.2 m (53 ft). It has a volume of approximately 10,000 cu ft (300 m3), making it the largest conifer in Japan. Tree-ring dating conducted by Japanese scientists on the tree's branches indicated that Jōmon Sugi is at least 2,000 years old. In Remarkable Trees of the World (2002), arborist Thomas Pakenham describes Jomon Sugi as "a grim titan of a tree, rising from the spongy ground more like rock than timber, his vast muscular arms extended above the tangle of young cedars and camphor trees".

Spruce, or pine is a tree of the family Pinaceae we can find anywhere and anytime, provided the area sandy soil, calcareous, lots of water or that have a fairly high acidity. We can find this tree starting from Siberia, Scotland, Norway, Spain's Canary Islands, the Philippines, arrived to the remote Himalayan mountains of New Zealand, Brazil and Chile.

This tree is popular because it can live apart everywhere also have a very high selling power in the timber industry. All the pine trees can be used ranging from wood, sap, twigs, seeds to leaves, which have economic value or usefulness is very commercial.

Pine tree is one of long-lived tree, because it can reach the age of around 100-1000 years, a record even be the oldest tree in the world, through the pines of the species, Great Basin Bristlecone Pine in the year 2010 is 4842 years old. This tree is between 30-80 meters high, but the average height of 15-45 meters, the tallest tree of the species of Sugar Pine. While the shortest is Potosi Pinyon pine and Siberian Dwarf Pine.
