Very nice script and presentation on this intriguing subject by Ranger Whelan. Edmund Schulman's (1908 - 1958) investigation of these trees first ignited public interest in the bristlecones. He estimated that one of those trees (Methuselah), was over 4,800 years old. Today, the section of the forest with the oldest trees is called the Schulman Grove. Inspired by the trees' longevity as an adaptive response to environment, Anthony De Palma wrote that the bristlecones "scold us for allowing adversity to stand in our way instead of adapting to it and turning it to our advantage."
I grew up around the Great Basin National Park I miss the stars in the sky at night I miss being able to go out in the mountains and not see nobody some of the most peaceful beautiful places in the world is there I've been there for 30 years I'm 60 years old now I hope when I get back before I die
So beautiful. And to think these are the oldest single living organisms on earth. Saw them at Inyo Nat. Forest last year and was awed by their presence.
I HAVE GROWN 6 OF THESE FROM SEEDS AS BONSAI, THEY ARE 1 FOOT HIGH AND HAVE BEEN SLOWLY GROWING FOR 30 YEARS NOW ,I AM STILL NOT SURE EVEN NOW IF I AM LOOKING AFTER THEM PROPERLY OR HOW I SHOULD SHAPE THEM
Actually, the Park Service needs more funds to protect and enhance our parks. When the water main at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon breaks six times in five months, and replacement is scheduled for 2025... we have a problem.
I heard there’s a 9,000 years old dead one. Is that true? Why don’t we take it down and study it then preserve it and put it in a National museum(s) or some sort of national mall museum in a glass case. Then future generations of Americans to come can enjoy it before the elements rip it apart. A family heirloom for the whole family .
As precious a National Treasure as is the Liberty Bell. Good job on narration. Defies comprehension.

It may be wrong to say this, but it sounds like a good place for a grave.

Masters of compartmentalization!

It’s fascinating how biological life can live for thousands of years, considering the senescence that is so common amongst many life forms, like us.
Awesome. Good work.
Been up to the cirque with my Norwegian wife and mother in law. A magic place.
great information
I wanna be a bristle cone tree, bro.
There's a way: ua-cam.com/video/_gTu18pgDwY/v-deo.html
One question why is bristlecone pine so old
I HAVE GROWN 6 OF THESE FROM SEEDS AS BONSAI, THEY ARE 1 FOOT HIGH AND HAVE BEEN SLOWLY GROWING FOR 30 YEARS NOW ,I AM STILL NOT SURE EVEN NOW IF I AM LOOKING AFTER THEM PROPERLY OR HOW I SHOULD SHAPE THEM
Did you get the seeds from the pinecone?
Makes scenes, they grow sooooooooooo soooooooooo slow
❤thamkyou😊
The social security checks those trees are getting must be incredible.
Actually, the Park Service needs more funds to protect and enhance our parks. When the water main at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon breaks six times in five months, and replacement is scheduled for 2025... we have a problem.
Wow
they grow 1" of girth for every hundred years and one foot of root erosion every 1000! incredible!

Olá, esta é a árvore Matusalém?
Ou a Pinus Longaeva?
But how we know lifespan of such oldest trees???
