Methuselah is a type of pine tree growing high in the White Mountains of Inyo County in eastern California. It was named after one of the longest-living characters in the Bible, who lived to be almost 1,000 years old.
Unlike the Tjikko that has survived by "cloning" itself, the Methuselah is believed to be the oldest living non-clonal tree/organism. It has been dendrochronologically tested (counting tree rings) and as of 2012, the tree is 4,845 years old
