"There are trees that have been around since before the invention of the telegraph"

There are trees, that are allmost 5000 years old, so around the time humans started building cities.

The oldest tree in a city might be this one, 2300 years old, living history.

Around here, they also plan to chop down a lot of trees that are around 200 years old, because the road repairs are cheaper with them gone. I hope it does not get to it as resistance is forming, but I might consider climbing and sitting there to block it.
