The Oldest Trees on Earth

The world’s veteran trees have stood for millennia, witnessing the ice ages, storms, floods, droughts, and the rise and fall of entire ecosystems and civilisations. They have persisted against some of the most profound changes in Earth’s history, witnessing a world long before humans could even understand their maturity.

Of course, those trees before humanity are no longer existent, however, the oldest trees today still hold great wisdom, and deserve our utmost respect, as symbols of strength and longevity of life!

Note: It is not possible to know the exact age of many trees, therefore this age ranking is based on the most likely age, or an average of all estimates.
