The birch trees are beginning to give way to the pines, spruce, oaks, maples etc
They really look no bigger than bushes. But some of them are 1500 years old, as they found out by examining at the rings. The reason is that on the cliff side, they have no enemies. There are no humans to uproot them, no animals to eat them. So they practically stay alive forever.
The flip side is that the cliff sides have very few nutrients, to the trees don’t grow more than a couple of meters high. But looking at them it is difficult to believe that the trees are so old. The oldest they found was 1800 years old tree, which died 1500 years ago.
But forget about California, Amazon etc. Some of the oldest trees in the world are to be found near Tobermory, near Georgian Bay.

Although they arent as old but some of the White Pines where i go fishing and camping are 200+ yrs old and where little sapplings at the time of the Chicago Fire when the whole area was cut down to rebuild chicago. When they clear cut the area
