The Oldest Trees on the Planet

At least 50 trees have been around for more than a millenium, but there may be countless other ancient trees that haven’t been discovered yet. Trees can live such a long time for several reasons.

Many create defensive compounds to fight off deadly bacteria or parasites. Zone d'absorption de la racine - Gnral - Modles de botanique - 3B Scientific.
