Some of the giant sequoias of California grow to an awe-in-spiring height of over 300 feet and may be 4000 years old. But even their huge size and towering height are not as wonderful as their eternal youth. Between the bark and wood is a layer of cells called “cambium” a perpetually youthful tissue that Ponce De Leon never thought of looking for in Florida. This remarkable tissue makes the cells at the tip of every twig grow just like the cells in a newly sprouted seedling and is nature's face-lifting treatment for trees. Some botanists believe that trees die from injury or disease and not
old age. The redwoods and Douglas firs of the Pacific coast are the world’s tallest trees, although few redwoods live more than 1000 years. According to Cornton’s Pictured Encyclopedia, the bristlecone pine discovered growing in the Inyo National Forest in 1958, is estimated from its annual growth rings to be 4600 years old and is the world’s oldest living thing. The bristlecone stands in a grove along with 17 other trees more than 4000 years old. They are little more than hulks of deadwood with a few single living branches, but they are alive and growing.
