Scientists have sequenced the genome of a couple dozen shoots of Pando and confirmed the main swath really is a clone, with very closely related but not quite identical trees surrounding Pando proper.

Every tree in Pando is genetically identical, sharing DNA from a root system that has been growing and regenerating for tens of thousands of years beneath the forest floor. Named after the Latin ...

It used to be the oldest tree in the region until scientists discovered another Great Basin bristlecone pine nearby that was over 5,000 years old. The Pando is a group of interconnected quaking ...
