I have no clue where the author of this article is pulling the fact that this tree is the oldest in Europe. I was just in Croatia on the Island of Pag a few months ago, standing in front of an Olive tree [1][2] that is 400+ years older than this tree:
Either the Croatians lied to me (and the internet, and the world) or this article is just completely invalid

- whyenot 10y agoIt's taken directly from the press release at Stockholm University. It's a little weird.
- retube 10y agoAye. Plenty of trees in UK older than this, including one at 4,000+ http://www.ancient-tree-hunt.org.uk/discoveries/newdiscoveries http://www.ancient-tree-hunt.org.uk/discoveries/newdiscoveri...
- ionwake 10y agoYep, the tree I spent alot of my youth playing with is over 2000+ and I had no idea at the time
- moogly 10y agoIt's actually verified through dendrochronology. The other ones you mention are not precisely dated, just estimated.
