The Carbon 14 dating was done in the US, no discussions here.

The several trees around do indeed exhibit same genetic set up as the "mother" tree.

Now to the C14 dating method: When a new tree pops up from the roots of the original one, IMO the photosynthetic and other "breathing" processes start from scratch and so does the C14 count down.

So I doubt we have a case, where 9,500 years old C14 was found in trees long gone <G>

Furthermore, how would the difference in dating be explained in that case?

Nowhere does it say that some parts of the root system only are that very old.

Any ideas?
