Pinus longaeva (Great Basin bristlecone pine) at ~3,048m (10,000ft) in the White Mountains of California. P. longaeva are the oldest known living non-clonal organisms on Earth. One tree, named Methuselah, is estimated to be 4,855yrs old. The dead stump pictured below was likely several thousand years old when it died and has been dead for a couple of thousand years. P. longaeva wood is so dense, it does not rot, rather, it erodes like rocks do.
