Old Tjikko

Old Tjikko is a 9,550 year old Norway Spruce tree found in Fulufjllet Mountain of Dalarna province in Sweden. It is the world’s oldest known living individual clonal tree.

The age of the tree was determined by carbon dating of the root system under the tree not by dendrochronology. The trunk itself is estimated to be only a few hundred years old, but the tree as a whole may have survived for much longer due to a process known as layering which is when a branch comes in contact with the ground and it sprouts a new root.

Delhi Is Gasping Again, And This Time, Even the Clouds Refused to Help

Delhi is choking again. AQI levels have slipped into the ‘severe’ zone, cloud seeding failed, and emergency measures barely make a dent.

If Delhi wants cleaner winters, it needs more green cover, not just temporary interventions. Clouds may not cooperate, but trees always will.
