From the Grist -
But they’ve now ruled it right back in, arresting 26-year-old Sara Barnes for lighting the Senator on fire while sitting inside it doing meth.

Sat in the tree and set it afire? A hollow tree? A tree in her yard or in a park?

I think I know of a couple of bigger maple trees. My hometown has a couple of real monsters.

Cypress must be really rot resistant.
A few days ago, I drove by my Mother’s old home. The old barn is still there tho it is not being well cared for. It must be at least a hundred years old.
The sides are made from huge slabs of cypress and do not appear to have deteriorated a bit, despite not being painted or treated in any way that I am aware of.
This is in Florida and pine left untreated like that would rot quickly.

Cypress is very rot resistant. About the only wood to use in Florida.

The very fact of singling out 1 tree as the 5th oldest on a planet that hasn't yet been fully explored would make the call of BS a pretty good bet. IMHO
of course if you've conducted a survey of all the rest of the trees....
To: driftdiver
And you know its not bs how ?!!!!!!!
