Sure, they've got a tan and a bit of attitude but if they are 2000 years old, how does anyone living know they are the best for anything?

That's certainly my (limited) understanding too. Slower growth through both winter and summer makes for a denser and more stable structure.

Nah. Just replace the first and last consonant with 's' and't' respectively

There's always the Bristlecone Pines, if you want to stick to pines: oldest exceeding 5000y

In the port of Leith , Baltic Street runs by where there has been timber yards for 180 years , timber coming in from Scandanavia, think local pine used to go to paper making.

In recent years fast grown maritime pine from the southern hemisphere has been used for flat pack shelf units etc, and very good it is too. The tiger stripe look is not to everyone's taste though
