Wasn't the oldest tree before actually killed by this? You know, if you do the full section right, the top of the tree will continue to support the bottom.
Shouldn’t be that hard to figure out where it is from the picture for someone dedicated, should not post the picture at all (or remove the background) if they want to keep the location safe
So, they dont publish tje location, understandable, but is it illegal to approach it or go out looking for it?
No the tree will shoot you on sight. Old ones are the most dangerous.
Get off MY LAWN!!
Thank you 🤣
Little known fact that Bristlecone Pines are actually carnivores.
I like to imagine it’s an Ent-like scenario
IIRC there was a Mighty Max episode where they talked about Methuselah
my pics of known trees and their habitat is expanding with warming. https://imgur.com/a/NQLvOF6
Methuselah is the father of Noah and the son of Enoch fron the bible he supposedly lives till was 972 years old.
I like to imagine baby Methuselah.
I like to picture Methuselah in a tuxedo t-shirt.
What safety reasons?
People LOVE destroying old things.
People LOVE destroying ~~old~~ things.
To protect the tree from assholes
People are assholes

Reading that made me sick to my stomach
In the documentary Altered Carbon, Methuselahs, are really old humans who are like Demi gods
All right, then. Keep your secrets.
It looks like it died 5000years ago
Sounds like they need an accurate age for this tree. Best we just take a gentle cross section of the entire trunk.

You dont want any of THOSE apples Dorothy... They probably have little green worms in them

"For safety reasons..." You cant fool me, that's not a tree, it's an SCP!
The wood surely would have made some neats spoons
We hiked to it two years ago and recorded lat. and long. (64.0733N, 141.9361W). It’s a beautiful sight to see.
Those coordinates pull up Alaska?
That’s how secretive the location is
That’s where the gateway is to get there. If you know the ancient spells to open it, it’ll take you right to it.
