    In my old yard on the back 5 acres we had a tree that was over 450 years old. It was a black oak and the branches up in the top where the size of most trees at the base. Hurricane Katrina took out many trees in our yard but only 1 branch fell from that tree. It was HUGE and it took 4 of us arms stretched out to go completely around its base. I hope it is still there.

    The controversial reason the 1st oldest tree was cut down was to figure out its age. Yes, it was cut down and killed just because they didn't feel like making a longer drill to get a relatively harmless sample.

    "So what should I talk about next time?" Well, personally I think you've suggested it already: KINGS HOLLY!!! aka, King's Lomatia. These are not only very weird in terms of their possible clonal age, but also in the fact that they're one of those 'secret location' species. They only live in a tiny remnant pocket of vegetation barely a kilometre in length, isolated in the remotest corner of Tasmania's southwest wilderness. They're in the Protea family as with many other plant groups in Tasmania and have curious spiny leaves that earn them the 'holly' common name due to some superficial resemblance. The Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens have some specimens and are apparently involved in their conservation effort. Might be hard to source footage of the plants though given their obscurity and the limited number of specimens in cultivation (and the fact that the wild population is kept secret). But it'd be a cool species to cover.
    On the 'old' theme, Huon Pine (Lagarostrobus franklinii) is a fascinating and rare plant. Known for their 2000+ year-old life spans and the legendary qualities of their immortal timber, they hold a deep significance in Tasmania and the wood can be absurdly expensive at times after centuries of over exploitation for the ship-building industry (because shipworms couldn't touch it). The resins in the wood make them almost immune to any rot or consumption from insects such that 'pining' operations on the Spero River were more akin to mining than forestry with ancient logs being excavated from alluvial deposits as the timber just got eroded and buried like stone rather than decay once it died and fell into the river.

    Great work on this video! I see that you included an image of the Prometheus stump. I worked at Great Basin National Park as an interpretive ranger for two summers and fell in love with these trees! I would take hiking groups from the Wheeler Peak Campground up to the Bristlecone Grove and show them all the unique features of these trees that allowed them to last so long. I would drop them off at the grove for lunch and then was tasked with roaming the most common trails until my shift ended to help people out. One day I decided that I would try to find Prometheus. I won't disclose where, but I did find him, butchered up with limbs left all around the stump of this once great tree. While I felt a profound sadness that the researchers were so hurried that they felt they needed to cut this down, I also know that the controversy surrounding its demise ultimately led to the creation of the park and much stricter protection of these magnificent trees.
