A grapevine found in the mountains of Tibet was certified by Guinness World Records as the oldest wild living vine after being found to be 416 years old.
The vine, located in Zuoba Village, Zogang County, was first discovered during a survey of ancient and notable trees in Changdu city, and was later analyzed by scientists from the Wood Science Research Laboratory at Southwest Forestry University in China.
The researchers used ring analysis and physical measurements to determine the vine’s age.
It was officially certified by Guinness World Records in September at the age of 416 years.
The vine, located at an altitude of nearly 7,900 feet, measures about 26 feet tall and has a diameter of more than 2 feet.
