Hi, I just reverted your edit to the list of oldest trees because there was no citation to a verified age, determined by tree rings or carbon dating, for the tree. Do you know of a citation, perhaps from the researchers at UTAD who studied it? If you can verify it that would be really exciting, since it would be the oldest living angiosperm on earth!

Sorry to edit! I don´t know how to answer you here... The Olive tree was considered the oldest one here at Portugal. The method is patented by the University of Trás-os-Montes (Portugal) and they verify ages till 3000 years ( http://www.oliveirasmilenares.com.pt/ ) You can see more pictures of the Olive Tree here: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.179292875460801.46048.113823935341029 and the declaration of age is this one: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=187011198022302&set=a.179292875460801.46048.113823935341029&type=1&theater. I hope you can understand all :)

You can see also this in english here: http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-622217?ref=feeds%2Flatest and the news in Portuguese at http://www.cienciahoje.pt/index.php?oid=49909&op=all and http://www.publico.pt/Sociedade/arvore-mais-velha-de-portugal-certificada-este-sabado-vive-em-santa-iria-da-azoia_1501904 7 July 2011 (Paula Pico)

If I read this page correctly, their method is to estimate age based on the size of the tree, so the olive tree should go on the list of trees with estimated ages. Do you know what the age of the oldest remaining tree rings are on this tree? Tdslk (talk) 03:01, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

(I'm going to copy this over to the Talk page for list of oldest trees, to preserve the conversation there.) Tdslk (talk) 03:03, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, I really can not find the talk page you refer, but anyway... as long as you can copy... :) You can read this page http://translationportal.epo.org/emtp/translate/?ACTION=abstract-retrieval&COUNTRY=PT&FORMAT=docdb&KIND=A&LOCALE=pt_PT&NUMBER=104183&OPS=ops.epo.org&W=1310238745476&TRGLANG=en&ENGINE=google&SRCLANG=pt it's the translation of the portuguese patent resume of the UTAD method. The original document is this one http://worldwide.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/originalDocument?FT=D&date=20110324&DB=EPODOC&locale=pt_pt&CC=PT&NR=104183B&KC=B paulapico (talk) 19:14, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Neither of those links works for me. The talk page is at Talk:list of oldest trees. Tdslk (talk) 03:17, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
