Re: Oldest Living Tree Found in Sweden
A tree without a trunk, are roots. The roots may be old but the truck is new. A tree is simply the basis of all parts, not just one. One part of it being old doesn't make an entire beast old.
If the title said, root system, I'd be like "sweet", but it's not so my excitement isn't all excited. The title is claiming the entire statue is old, which it isn't. It's like saying the tree is new because a new branch grew.
In terms, the root system, can ditch a trunk and the rest of it's belongings and then regrow a new truck, making the trunk/twigs/branches/leaves new and the roots old. So, the tree is new and used..
Nonsense, maybe, but I'm not impressed simply by the title. Redwoods, now there's a story.
