    If trees could talk, imagine the stories that one could tell!

    Please, can we deviate from current practice and NOT kill it?

    Trees with old root systems fascinate me. I can’t believe they can grow so many times out of one root system. In fact, a root system here in the US is actually the largest organism in the world (thank neatorama for my education :)

    “If trees could talk, imagine the stories that one could tell!”

    Holy crap, someone kill me already! I’ve been out here in the middle of nothing for tousands of years and nothing has happened. The most exciting thing was when a squirrel took a poop on a branch some two tousand years ago.

    …but yeah, I bet now that it’s common knowledge someone will kill it. Shortly thereafter it’ll end up on eBay.

    Flickr says: “You must be signed in to see this content.”

    Why do so many Neatorama linked images give that? It’s super-annoying, whatever the cause is.

    Anonmouse, the content isn’t at Flickr, it’s a National Geographic. Click where it say “LInk”. If you click the picture, it should just take you to the Flickr page where I stored the photo, which won’t tell you anything new. I don’t know why you have to be signed up for Flickr, though.

    Don’t worry about anyone killing it. All that can be reached is the trunk and, as the article says, if one dies, another one will take its place.

    Creation scientists would probably say Satan planted that tree to test your faith, because after all, the Earth is only a little over 6k years old.

    Given some of the comments on the previous post, there are people with their chain saws and bulldozers ready to kill off the ancient thing. :(
