Abstract:
Recent research conducted at Black River's Three Sister Swamp has uncovered cypress revealing this tree population in North Carolina may be in the third millennium. Topping the age of “Methuselah,” 1,700 years old, are two trees, one 2,088 years old, the other 2,624 years old. Their value may manifest the N.C. Parks and Recreation Division’s proposal to construct a park that protects and showcases these trees.
