Crashed my truck this morning. Not much damage, just a mudgaurd and a scratched tanker. But still, I feel like an idiot.
 
Over 5000 years old, pretty amazing. They estimate Huon pines grow to 3000 years old. Not many of them left unfortunately.

However, the Huon pine is also a clonal life form – the above-ground stems share a common root stock. If that common root stock is considered to be the base of a multi-trunked tree, then that tree could be as old as 11,000 years.

FWIW, there's a mountain I promised not to reveal on the west coast of Tassie which has a prostrate Huon pine (still very much alive) that is considerably longer than the styx giant, it's just not taller! ;)

The locals like to keep it very much to themselves.

yeah there are a few old huon pines around but people like you who know where they are wont tell. Sad that as a society we need to keep things like this a secret. I totally get it though.
