These trees look like those evil trees from GoT tv series

In my old yard on the back 5 acres we had a tree that was over 450 years old. It was a black oak and the branches up in the top where the size of most trees at the base. Hurricane Katrina took out many trees in our yard but only 1 branch fell from that tree. It was HUGE and it took 4 of us arms stretched out to go completely around its base. I hope it is still there.

[@thatoneguy_0218]

The controversial reason the 1st oldest tree was cut down was to figure out its age. Yes, it was cut down and killed just because they didn't feel like making a longer drill to get a relatively harmless sample.

[@anti-ethniccleansing465]

How do you get a harmless sample? Don’t you have to count all the rings? That would kill the tree.

[@a-b0t633]

That's ironic isn't it? "We must hide these trees from the public so no harm comes to them! Except for that one. Cut that one down."

[@latronqui]

@@anti-ethniccleansing465 since they are rings, I imagine cutting a small section from the bark to the centre of the tree would allow to cut them all and keep the tree standing and the sap circulating all around the place where the sample was taken.

[@2101case]

I spent an entire day in a Bristlecone forest in the Eastern Sierras off Rte 395, California, near Bishop. They've identified the oldest of these ancients but keep its identity from the public for fear of vandalism to it. It was a fascinating place to me.

[@imanuelc143]

Ironic

[@eomguel9017]

How about trees with cool timber colours or those that have been used to extract pigments for the upcoming episodes? For example, the brazilwood that gives the name to the country or Peltogyne mexicana, also known as purpleheart.

[@animalogic]

[@heleninglis9961]

It's crazy to think of everything these ancient trees have been through & witnessed during their life

[@anti-ethniccleansing465]

Like how many critters have climbed them or how many bird nests the trees have held to bring in new life, and then are still around when that life dies.

[@peaceLove777Love]

Yup they where around when the last mammouth species died out around 1 thousand years ago

[@genox633]

[@AgdaFingers]

It is just mind blowing that something that existed before the pyramids is still alive TODAY in 2022.

[@riverperino8591]

Another really cool fact is that Bristlecone Pine tree rings have been used to date the Minoan Eruption of Thera! Which it is absolutely insane that a volcanic eruption halfway around the world could be dated using the rings of a tree.

[@tamarrajames3590]

Thank you Tasha, I really enjoyed this one. I would be interested in your take regarding brambles as a carnivorous plant. There are British sheep farmers who swear they trap sheep, and get tighter wound into it the more the sheep struggles to break free. They think the bramble then feeds on the nutrients from the decaying sheep through its roots.🖤🇨🇦

Yes, I would love a comment from an expert on this. I was quite intrigued, when I heard about this for the first time.

I'd really love to learn about how scientists find out plants' age.. it'd be interesting if you make a video on that topic😊😊

[@gaidhliglass]

Was going to ask the same thing. As I understand, counting rings was the way to tell and to do that would entail cutting it down or taking a core sample. In either case, it kills the tree. So, yes, I too would like to see how they tell the age without killing it.

[@zackp8201]

@@gaidhliglass they drill a core sample

[@AlbertaGeek]

@@gaidhliglass You've been misinformed. A core sample does not kill the tree

[@erikkellner7237]

Great work on this video! I see that you included an image of the Prometheus stump. I worked at Great Basin National Park as an interpretive ranger for two summers and fell in love with these trees! I would take hiking groups from the Wheeler Peak Campground up to the Bristlecone Grove and show them all the unique features of these trees that allowed them to last so long. I would drop them off at the grove for lunch and then was tasked with roaming the most common trails until my shift ended to help people out. One day I decided that I would try to find Prometheus. I won't disclose where, but I did find him, butchered up with limbs left all around the stump of this once great tree. While I felt a profound sadness that the researchers were so hurried that they felt they needed to cut this down, I also know that the controversy surrounding its demise ultimately led to the creation of the park and much stricter protection of these magnificent trees.

I'd love to know what research "warranted" cutting down such an ancient tree..

[@demetrialowther727]

"So what should I talk about next time?" Well, personally I think you've suggested it already: KINGS HOLLY!!! aka, King's Lomatia. These are not only very weird in terms of their possible clonal age, but also in the fact that they're one of those 'secret location' species. They only live in a tiny remnant pocket of vegetation barely a kilometre in length, isolated in the remotest corner of Tasmania's southwest wilderness. They're in the Protea family as with many other plant groups in Tasmania and have curious spiny leaves that earn them the 'holly' common name due to some superficial resemblance. The Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens have some specimens and are apparently involved in their conservation effort. Might be hard to source footage of the plants though given their obscurity and the limited number of specimens in cultivation (and the fact that the wild population is kept secret). But it'd be a cool species to cover. On the 'old' theme, Huon Pine (Lagarostrobus franklinii) is a fascinating and rare plant. Known for their 2000+ year-old life spans and the legendary qualities of their immortal timber, they hold a deep significance in Tasmania and the wood can be absurdly expensive at times after centuries of over exploitation for the ship-building industry (because shipworms couldn't touch it). The resins in the wood make them almost immune to any rot or consumption from insects such that 'pining' operations on the Spero River were more akin to mining than forestry with ancient logs being excavated from alluvial deposits as the timber just got eroded and buried like stone rather than decay once it died and fell into the river.

[@evilsharkey8954]

Hold on. Are you watering a Peperomia prostrata at 1:05? I love that plant! I saw a sad little one at a rock shop and desperately wanted to try growing one, but theirs was so over-lit that all the leaves were light green, so the distinctive “string of turtles” markings weren’t so visible. It took me years to identify it.

A storm once took down a branch off a tree in front of my house and it fell in our front yard. I told my dad about it and said it would be difficult to move and asked him what we should do about it. He didn't take my question seriously until he saw the branch himself and ask me if it had made a sound when it fell. I couldn't help laughing. Suggestion, you can make a video about how fugus helps plants grow by breaking down minerals. I once did an experiment and gave a small plant a stone and because of tiny fugus in the soil, it grew like crazy.
