According to scientists, this juniper grew in the north of Lapland from about 260 to 1906. They stated that they managed to find the oldest shrub in the world and the oldest tree plant in Europe. At the same time, researchers admit that the shrub is even older, but it is impossible to find out the full age by preserved annual rings. The real age of this and other samples can be 10-200 years more.
The site of the University of Paduan says that the length of the trunk of the oldest juniper did not exceed 10 centimeters. The co -author of the study Angela Louise Prendin explained that the study of the annual plant rings in the Far North allows you to learn more about climate and evolution of plants.

The head of the study by Marco Carrera said that ordinary juniper is the most common woody plant on the planet. “It meets from sea level to the upper limits of vegetation, from Alaska to Etna, from Japan to Scotland. This is an extremely eclectic appearance that can endure scorching temperatures and dryness, for example, in sand dunes, or, conversely, freezing near glaciers, ”Carrera explained.
In addition, scientists have discovered a copy of six more shrubs over 1000 years old. The oldest example found in Russia was a bushy age of 840 years, which grew from 1160 to 1999.
