What tree lives the longest, and how many years does the tree usually live?

The oldest tree in the world Metasequoia appeared more than 100 million years ago in the middle of the Cretaceous period of the Mesozoic Era, and it is the oldest tree species in the world. Metasequoia is native to the Arctic Circle, and by the late Cretaceous, it was widely distributed in Eurasia and North America, and gradually moved south. In the Quaternary period, 1 million years ago, Metasequoia was almost completely destroyed due to the influence of glaciers.

One can only see the remains of metasequoia on the fossils, thinking that it is extinct. However, around 1941, Chinese botanists discovered metasequoia in Sichuan and Hubei, which was called a "living fossil".

In 2004, scientists from Umeå University in Sweden found a clump of about 20 European spruce trees growing from the stump of the same mother tree in the mountains of Dalarna province, Sweden, and recently they did a carbon-14 isotope measurement of its root system, and unexpectedly found that the age of the mother tree of this spruce was as high as 9,550 years, setting a new world record for the longest living tree.

In Feilaifeng, Ju County, Shandong Province, China, there is a ginkgo tree that is more than 3,000 years old, covering an area of more than three acres. It is said that the monarch of the Lu country and the monarch of the Ju country once met under this tree. To this day, the branches of this tree are luxuriant, and they bear fruit every year.

Wish Tree. As long as hope is not extinguished, life will live forever! Ginkgo biloba, known as a living fossil.

Different trees have different lifespans, such as willow trees can live for 150 years, pear trees can live for 300 years, jujube trees can live for 400 years, elm trees can live for 500 years, birch trees can live for 600 years, camphor trees can live for 800 years, figs can live for 1000 years, etc. Generally, conifers live longer than broad-leaved trees, such as cedar can live for 2,000 years, cypress can live for 3,000 years, and spruce can live for 4,000 years.

Trees, just like any living thing, die over time. The life of these plants is influenced not only by their species, but also by the climate and living conditions. Obviously, trees that adapt to the abundant humidity conditions in Africa will die quickly.

Scientists have found that some plants can survive for a long time in colonial conditions when ancient ancestral organisms reproduce asexually with their clones.

This form of existence greatly extends the lifespan of the tree. In Sweden, for example, there are 9,500-year-old Tico spruces that grow, although the trunk itself is estimated to be only a few hundred years old. However, radiocarbon analysis of the underlying roots revealed that the ages of the roots were and 9550 years, respectively.

The longest-lived tree in the world

The longest-lived tree in the world is a dragon's blood tree on the island of Canary Island in West Africa. More than 500 years ago, the Spaniards determined it to be about 8,000 to 10,000 years old. This is the old birthday star among the trees of the world.

Unfortunately, it was destroyed in a typhoon in 1868. The dragon's blood tree is an evergreen tree, the body of the tree is generally 20 meters high, but the base is 10 meters long, and seven or eight people can stretch out their arms to enclose it.

The resin of this tree is dark red, which is a famous preservative, and the local people call it "dragon's blood", so it is called the dragon's blood tree. Many trees have a lifespan of more than 100 years. Apricot and persimmon trees can live for more than 100 years.

Citrus, oranges, and chestnuts can live up to 300 years old. The cedar tree can live for a thousand years. Nanjing's Liuchao pine is 1,400 years old, but it is not that old.

The juniper cypress in Qufu is still an old antique from 2,400 years ago. The red cypress in Alishan, Taiwan Province, has a history of more than 3,000 years. This is the longest-lived tree currently alive in our country.

Woody plants live much longer than herbaceous plants. The "old birthday stars" in the plant world are all found in woody plants. The average herbaceous plant usually lives from a few months to more than ten years.

Willow trees can live for 150 years, pear trees for 300 years, jujube trees for 400 years, elm trees for 500 years, birch trees for 600 years, camphor trees for 800 years, and figs for 1000 years. Generally, coniferous plants have a longer lifespan than broad-leaved trees, such as cedar can live for 2,000 years, cypress 3,000 years, and spruce 4,000 years.

A dragon's blood tree on the island of Orta, North Finnaria, was estimated to be about 8,000 10,000 years old by the Spaniards 500 years ago, but unfortunately it did not survive to this day and was destroyed in a gale-force in 1868. A shrub of the genus Laria, which is known to have lived in the Mexican desert for 11,700 years, is 11,700 years old.

The most versatile tree: the baobab tree.

The baobab tree, also known as the bobab tree, grows in the vast savannahs of eastern Africa. The bark, leaves, and fruit of this tree are all used for medicinal purposes. Its canopy is huge, the branches are strange, resembling tree roots, the tree shape is spectacular, the fruit is huge like a football, sweet and juicy, and it is the favorite food of monkeys, orangutans, elephants and other animals.

The shortest tree vs. the tallest tree.

The shortest tree in the world is the dwarf willow, which grows in the alpine tundra, and is only 3 cm to 5 cm tall.

Every plant has a certain lifespan, generally the world's longest-lived tree is the dracaena in Africa, because it has the title of plant longevity, the juice of the dracaena is blood-red, so when the dragon's blood tree is damaged, it is like bleeding, and it is also listed by the Compendium of Materia Medica as a holy medicine for blood circulation and blood stasis.

Each tree plant has a certain lifespan, but some plants can live for a hundred years or even a thousand years, so what is the longest life of the tree, generally speaking, it is a kind of dragon's blood tree in Africa, it can survive in the earth for 10,000 years, it is the longest-lived tree species among the trees, so it has the title of plant longevity.

And the dragon's blood tree is different from other tree species is that the sap is blood-red, legend has it that a long time ago the dragon and the elephant at war, and finally the dragon's blood was sprinkled on the earth, due to the passage of time and the evolution of history, the blood grew a kind of tree in the soil, so the descendants named it after the dragon's blood tree, generally when the dragon's blood tree was damaged, it would be like bleeding.

Dracaena not only has a high ornamental nature, but also is a very famous Chinese medicinal material, by the Compendium of Materia Medica as a holy medicine for blood circulation and stasis, it was identified as a national second-class protected plant in China a long time ago, the common varieties mainly include Hainan Dracaena, dwarf Dracaena, Long-flowered Dracaena, Thin Branch Dracaena and so on.

According to research, redwoods, baobabs, and Australian eucalyptus trees can all live to be more than 4,000 years old, while the "Lord of the World" giant sequoia has lived to be more than 5,000 years old, but these are not the oldest of the plants. In 1868, the famous geographer Humboldt discovered an 8,000-year-old plant when he was on the island of Orta, Africa. Unfortunately, the tree had been broken by a recent storm.

Because its trunk was broken by a storm, Humboldt was able to tell the exact age of the tree by counting the rings where it was broken. This is the longest-lived plant known so far. This long-lived tree is called the dragon's blood tree, the tree is 18 meters high, the diameter of the main trunk is nearly 5 meters, and the diameter of the break is 1 meter 3 meters above the ground.

This long-lived tree is called the dragon's blood tree, the tree is 18 meters high, the diameter of the main trunk is nearly 5 meters, and the diameter of the break is 1 meter 3 meters above the ground. Dracaena is a lily plant, there are more than 150 species in the world, and there are 5 species in the tropical rainforest in southern China. It grows very slowly, taking hundreds of years to grow into a tree and only blooming for decades, so it is very rare and valuable.

When injured, the dragon's blood tree will emit a blood-colored liquid. This liquid is a kind of resin, dark red, is a kind of precious Chinese medicine, the Chinese medicine is called "blood exhaustion" or "unicorn exhaustion", can ** muscle and bone pain. Ancient people also used the resin of the dragon's blood tree as a raw material for the preservation of corpses, because this resin is a good antiseptic.

It is also a raw material for making paints. Native to the Canary Islands in West Africa, the dragon's blood is said to be the blood-colored liquid that flows from the dragon's blood tree, because the dragon's blood is spilled on the earth when dragons and elephants fight. This is where the name of the dragon's blood tree comes from.
