It looks like Charlie Brown’s Christmas tree

Is it older than the Witch's Tree, north of Grand Marias ?

another "Inconvenient Truth Tree", it seems, Thanks for posting.

The part of the tree above ground dies off periodically but the roots survive. So it’s the part below ground, not above, that’s survived all this time.

Hard to see that this proves anything one way or another.

What really is annoying, is that facts and truth are nowhere to be found in the dominant media.

Just sent that to a couple enviro-wacky friends I have. They are really clueless when it comes to this stuff. They think if you don’t believe in global warming it means you’re for oil in your rivers and smog all over the air.

Stories like these will never see the light of day.

Hope I don't look that bad when I'm 9500 years old.

If trees are as scarce in Sweden as the photo implies, it’s a miracle it wasn’t chopped down a couple thousand years ago.

It looks like it would make a really sad looking IKEA coffee table.

oldest + tree

Bill, haven't we seen this somewhere already?

[MrB]

The earth contains its own historical recorders. Sediment deposits, ice cores, tree rings, etc, in order for charlatans like Gore and his Global Warming/Socialist Cult to be refuted.

Thank God.

[MrB]

Look as good you will not when 9500 years you reach.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

THAT's a 9,500 year old tree???????????????????

Egad.

Grand Portage...but you knew that ;-)

also known as the "Little Spirit Cedar"

They have a pic and info on their main page but I can't get there from here

I’m being suspicious as with Piltdown Man——maybe they’ll find a fake cricket bat buried around there close by——where’s the rest of the forest? And do the Swede lumberjacks know about this weed yet?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Couldn't think of the name. Thanks.
About 12 years ago, wife and I plus another couple found our way to the tree. It was stuffed with offerings of cigarettes, coins, paper money, silver charms, etc. Now, I'm told, the Indians have taken down all the signs leading to it. Can't say I blame them, tho.
