World's oldest tree discovered in Sweden - Telegraph

World's oldest tree discovered in Sweden - Telegraph: "The world's oldest tree has been found in Sweden, a tenacious spruce that first took root just after the end of the last ice age, more than 9,500 years ago.

The tree has rewritten the history of the climate in the region, revealing that it was much warmer at that time and the ice had disappeared earlier than thought."
