9,550-Year-Old Tree by the name Old Tjikko is growing in Sweden. The tree was named by the name of its discoverer dog's name. After making some radiocarbon analyses it was found that the tree is 9550 years old.
For thousands of years, the frigid Tundra climate has kept Old Tjikko to a petite shrub; however, as weather has warmed over the past 100 years, the shrub has grown into a full-fledged tree that now stands proudly, having outlived so much else on this earth.
