The only known natural example of King's Lomatia (Lomatia tasmanica) found growing in the wild is a clonal colony in Tasmania estimated to be 43,600 years old. [1]A group of 47,000 Quaking Aspen (Populus tremuloides) trees (nicknamed "Pando") in the Wasatch Mountains, Utah, United States, has been shown to be a single clone connected by the root system.
A male clonal organism, Pando has an estimated 47,000 stems (ramets) that appear to be individual trees but are not, because those stems are connected by a root system that spans 42.8 ha (106 acres). Pando is the largest tree by weight and landmass and the largest known aspen clone.
Pando, a colony of quaking aspen, is one of the oldest-known clonal trees. Recent estimates of its age range up to 14,000 years old, and 16,000 years by the latest (2024) estimate. [1] It is located in Utah, United States. This is a list of the oldest-known trees, as reported in reliable sources. Definitions of what constitutes an individual ...
A clonal colony or genet of Quercus sinuata var. breviloba appears as thickets of ramets that may grow as high as five meters from a single extensive underground root system. [5] The clustered stems of a clonal individual may cover large geographical expanses, creating the appearance of many individual small trees or shrubs. [4]
Pando, a clonal colony of the quaking aspen tree, is widely considered to be the largest such organism by mass. [1] Even if such colonies are excluded, trees retain their dominance of this listing, with the giant sequoia being the most massive tree. [ 2 ]
Clonal colonies of different autumnal colors on a mountainside in the Matanuska Valley in Alaska. Quaking aspen propagates itself primarily through root sprouts, and extensive clonal colonies are common. Each colony is its own clone, and all trees in the clone have identical characteristics and share a single root structure.
Pando is a clonal colony of Populus tremuloides (quaking aspen) trees in south-central Utah, United States, that is estimated to be several thousand years old, possibly as much as 14,000 years. [49] Unlike many other clonal "colonies", Pando's above-ground tree trunks remain connected to each other by a single massive subterranean root system.
The Jurupa Oak, or Hurungna Oak, [1] [2] is a clonal colony of Quercus palmeri (Palmer's oak) trees in the Jurupa Mountains in Crestmore Heights, Riverside County, California. The colony has survived an estimated 13,000 years through clonal reproduction, [3] [4] [5] making it one of the world's oldest living trees. [5]
