Sweden’s Oldest Tree
By Linda Tancs
Sweden’s oldest tree is Old Tjikko, its root system having survived for over 9,500 years now. A few feet have been lopped off the top because of a harsh winter last year. Only discovered little more than a decade ago, the tree takes its name from a dog that accompanied the researchers who found it. You’ll find it in Fulufjället National Park near the border with Norway.
