For thousands of years, Old Tjikko did not always look like a normal upright tree. During colder periods it survived as a low shrub beneath the snow, while warmer conditions allowed new upright trunks to grow.

i have seen old tjikko - a clonal tree that's the most recent of several genetically identical trees that have been growing in the same spot for nearly 10 000 years. it likely sprouted for the first time very shortly after the ice receded from that part of sweden.

Had the privilage to visit Old Tjikko before the top broke of in 2023. Some elders are worth respecting so if you have the chance to do the hike you should, even if he isn't as tall anymore
At more than 2,300 years old, Jaya Siri Maha Bodhi is the oldest living human-planted tree in the world with a known planting date.
Old Tjikko, a Norway spruce tree in the county of Dalarna, Sweden, is living on top of roots that have been radiocarbon-dated to 9,550 years old. The tree is part of a clonal colony that was established at the end of the last ice age.
Pando (Latin for "I spread") is a clonal organism representing an individual male quaking aspen. Though it is difficult to know the exact age, Pando is estimated to be 80,000 years old.
The Fortingall Yew is an ancient European yew (Taxus baccata) in the churchyard of the village of Fortingall in Perthshire, Scotland. Considered one of the oldest trees in Britain, modern estimates place its age at an average of 5,000 years.
The yew is male; however, in 2015, scientists from the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh reported that one small branch on the outer part of the crown had changed sex and begun to bear a small group of berries, an occurrence occasionally noted in some dioecious plant species, including yews. This is possibly as a result of environmental stress.
