The Old Dog Presents: Tree Tuesday, is This Tree Between 1 And 2 Thousand Years Old?

in #treetuesday7 years ago

I love admiring big trees and if I get a chance to hug one I'm all in!

Here's one example and here's another!  

We've had the chance to travel quite a bit around the island of Tenerife and when I heard about the existence of a gigantic tree that was estimated to be between 1,000 -2,000 years old I couldn't wait to wrap my loving arms around it. 


What a great experience it was to see this giant and to feel its power. Awe inspiring!


It's nearly impossible to get back far enough to fit the whole tree into a photo!


To fully appreciate the enormity of this majestic beauty please note the two people beside the white wall. Wow!


Here's a little blurb about the tree. Don't mind the slightly confusing translation! 


What About You?

  • Are You a tree hugger?
  • What's the biggest tree that you've ever seen?
  • Have you ever seen the type of tree depicted here?


I hope that you enjoyed this article:"Tree Tuesday, is This Tree Between 1 And 2 Thousand Years Old?"



Until next time,

In Sardegna io visto l'ulivo di Luras considerato uno dei più antichi....almeno 3.000 o 4.000 anni. Uno spettacolo

Wowww it's a very very very very big tree 😨😨😨. I would also take a photo with such a giant!

Once when i was in Jerusalem, i saw olive trees that have more than 2000 years old! It's really hard to imagine that.
I also took a picture of these trees:

Many funny spor share these beautiful images
I wish you a great week dear friend

Wow this definetly a must see in Tenerife! It's always fascinating thinking about how many things can an old tree have seen! It could have started growing just after Jesus!
It's also a very beautiful species. It's a sculpture!
There's an interesting book about old trees in Ticino, we should go around and met them once!

Very nice hobby!

Funny, from my point of view it looks pretty tiny :D

I didn't get the chance to hug it tho :(

Very nice! When did you visit it?

I was there last year in October. I really wish to go back one day, I loved everything about the island.

Always an honor to see the Old Dog in the tag!

Wow the people really add to the scale of the tree! AMAZING!

Yes it was great to see it!

What a majestic creation, simply wondrous. Thanks Old Dog

PS You look like a very young dog on that tree ;-)

Yes from some angles I look OK!

OMG this is incredible to know about this that much years old wow :D

It was wonderful to see it!

What a cool species and incredible specimen! I never heard of them before, thanks for sharing. Now I wonder if you can find a sample of the sap used as a dye. Are you guys still there?!

We're here for 2 more days. The climate here is great 18 degrees at night and 25 during the day.

You deserve a sun-burn then!

Brrrrrrrrrrrrbbbrbrbrrrrrrrrrr @ -15 deg!

I love trees very much.I'm under a big tree right now

That's a good place to be!
