Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • Alerce Milenario is the largest tree in Chile's Alerce Coster National Park. While it has been on the list of oldest trees, this Alerce tree (Fitzroya cupressoides) is now rivalling others to be possibly the oldest tree in the world. Jonathan Barichivich and Antonio Lara, of the Austral University of Chile, bored a partial hole into the tree as far as possible without damaging it. They used an increment borer—a T-shaped drill to excise a narrow cylinder of wood without harming the tree. The partial plug of wood yielded approximately 2,400 tightly spaced growth rings. They then used statistical modelling based on data from 2,400 trees. Barichivich's age estimate for the Alerce Milenario was 5,484 years old and with certainty that the tree is at least 5,000 years old. (en)
