- Description

This is the oldest living tree in Alberta. This Whitebark Pine (Pinus albicaulis) wraps itself around the bare rocks on the banks of the North Saskatchewan River near the Banff Park boundary and has been there for more than 1200 years. A small seedling has started to grow near the base of the tree and will eventually replace the existing tree.
This was my second Gigapan. This view can only be obtained by a very wide angle panorama because if you were to take a step backwards you'd fall into the river!

It's the Cheewhat Giant on Vancouver Island.
Circumference 18.3 meters (60 feet)
Height 55.5 meters
Estimated age: 2000-3000 years.
