These ancient Pando trees are in the Fishlake National Park in Utah, USA. These Pandos are the oldest living trees in the world, as well as the oldest living creature in the world. In these trees too, the tree is formed by an underground root system and buds. Experts say that the Pando, which became the world’s first tree-lined tree, is now going down the spreading. They say that the local human activities and animals are slowing down the propagation of the tree.
