That's awesome, Longknife! And a splendid picture. My grandfather collected cypress tree stumps back in the 50s, but they were small by comparison to that giant beauty. And boy, were they beautiful when he got done cleaning, working, and polishing them.
A recently documented stand of bald cypress trees in North Carolina, including one tree at least 2,624 years old, are the oldest known living trees in eastern North America and the oldest known wetland tree species in the world.

Nature can be awesome. A bristlecone pine at 5,000 years in the oldest living thing on earth.

Love it!
There are others that are clones from several-centuries-old root systems worth mentioning, too: What Is the Oldest Tree in the World? Worldwide, there are some ancient anomalies. When I lived in Wyoming, I heard claims of there being little old scrawny-looking junipers the drill hole age system, way up in the rocky mountain otherwise arctic desert areas, and claims of several 5,000+ years old junipers, but that was just hearsay from someone who knew someone at the University of Wyoming, I guess. Most of the Equality State is mile high and remoter than you'd ever care to be if you weren't a survivalist person who adores the peace and quiet of isolation on a near-permanent basis.

That's right, Herewegoagain. I'm not sure where he got his, they had about 3 points apiece, and he had them by every door in his house that stayed open. They were a shade of pinkish gold, as I recollect. He may have gotten them in Florida, but I don't remember exactly any more. He and grandma liked to travel, but I never knew it until our family gatherings on birthdays, Thanksgiving Christmas New Year's Day, Easter, and the 4th of July, probably more in the summertime. Thanks for sharing the picture of the pointed stumps.That's awesome, Longknife! And a splendid picture.

I think the oak in my front yard is a centennial tree, but it was big when we moved here. The squirrels love it, and so does every bird of every color you ever saw in your life. I even have seen birds around here that I haven't seen in the over 20 huge identification of birds of the world, of America, and everywhere. There was one brilliant green bird one year, never saw anything like it. It was bigger than a dove, had a face that was beautifully refined, the green was iridescent, and he looked at me the same as I looked at him for over half an hour. I was stunned the whole time. he may have been 23 or 24 inches long from beak to narrow-type, nondescript tail. It was about 6 or 7 years ago. Haven't seen that beautiful creature before or since. And it's not in any of my books or any I made a special trip to the library for, either. I just don't know what I was looking at, except that it was the most stunning bird I ever recollect having seen--and intelligent, too. Oh, wait. That winter's night the snowy owl swooped down on my car was pretty stunning, between Laramie and Casper on the Highway that was in the high hills between Clark's Corner and Rock River. Never mind. Just silly stuff. That owl looked hungry though, and his wingspan was identical to the width of my car. He was the biggest bird I ever encountered up close and personal, even though I was protected by a good windshield glass. It was snowing, too, lightly.Growing up in Southern California, I remember some massive Live Oaks that were several hundred years old.
Goodness. Never realized what it took to collect a cypress knee. Hadn't heard that term in so long I forgotaboutit.That's awesome, Longknife! And a splendid picture.

Yeah...
Just saw some guy selling two of em made into lamps......he wanted $2,750 bucks for em!!!!
I have a couple of em my Father in law gave me.
With me it's a kinda love hate relationship with cypress knees,they're cool looking and you can catch some nice bass around em but they SUCK when they're in tall grass and you're constantly tripping over em while trying to launch a jon boat!!
