Alex, You are right about the bristlecone pine being older, but it is more like a scraggly bush than a tree if I remember correctly. I have been to the old Live Oak tree several times and it is huge and thriving, putting out acorns and stuff just like the young guys. Although our chamber page gives it's age at 1000 years, I believe Texas A&M has gotten a figure closer to 2000 years. I have several trees on my motel property that I know are well over 100 years old. I have owned the property 20 years, and the diameter has increased from about 24 inches to 25 inches in that time. Photos from twenty years ago look the same as today. Live oaks grow very slowly. Woops, I just read your next post to the bristlecones, and it says they are huge trees too! I guess that I have to eat crow on this one. Good thing I still had time to edit! Nice link. Now I will go back to it. Del
