these are hard to believe... a hollowed out pine will not last much longer...

9500 year old spruce needs documentation... all living things have an expiration... trees are no different. consequentially there are no “old” forrests... they are forever changing.

From wikipedia:
"Old Tjikko is a 9,550 year-old Norway Spruce, located on Fulufjället Mountain of Dalarna province in Sweden. Old Tjikko originally gained fame as the "world's oldest tree."[1] Old Tjikko is, however, a clonal tree that has regenerated new trunks, branches and roots over millennia rather than an individual tree of great age. Old Tjikko is recognized as the oldest living Picea abies and the third oldest known clonal tree."
