I'm probably gonna be a big party pooper here, but the chapter&verse I learned in school is that the bristlecone pine of the CA Sierra is the oldest tree known so far. 4600 years for one well-documented specimen. Recently in Nature I read about a ring of creosote bush in Death Valley. If you accept the idea that the members of the ring all grew continuously out from a central seedling, you have a plant 13000 years old. Basically from the end of the Ice Age. I live within a day's drive of both these organisms. I should make a pilgrimage once little Helen is walking&talking.
