The tree of knowledge, which contained fruit of some kind with a serpent wrapped around it's branches. That's how I'd know it was refering to the garden of eden.

The Guinness Book of World Records currently lists a 12,000 year old California redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) named "Eternal God" as the oldest tree on earth. Previously, the "Methuselah" Bristlecone Pine (Pinus longaeva) held the record at about 4,700 years.\n\nThe Bristlecone Pine (Pinus longaeva) was first identified as a long-lived tree by Dr Edmund Schulman following surveys in California's White Mountains in 1954. The oldest pines grow at elevations above 3,000 metres in arid, rocky areas of the Great Basin that covers the state of Nevada and parts of Utah and California. (This mountainous area of 500,000 square kilometres has no rivers or creeks flowing out of it.) They exist on the tree line in severe conditions, and often appear to be mostly dead, with only part of the trunk having living bark and leaves. This growth strategy is a response to damage from climate and lightning strikes, and allows the tree to exist on limited resources.\n\nThe bristlecones of Wheeler Peak in Nevada were believed to be older than those found in California. In 1964 a geology student called Donald R. Currey came to Wheeler Peak to study ice age glaciers, partly by collecting tree ring data. Using coring tools, he identified trees over 4,000 years old.\n\nWhen his coring tool jammed inside a massive tree, he asked for, and received, permission from the US Forest Service to cut the tree off at 2.4 metres above the ground and keep a horizontal slab for study. When this slab had its rings counted, it turned out to be over 4,844 years old. Later cores taken closer to ground level by dendrochronologist Don Graybill showed it to be 4,862 years old - the oldest living thing ever discovered.\n\nWheeler Peak is now part of the Great Basin National Park, which was created in 1986.\n\nThen a 4,600+ year old bristlecone called "Methuselah" in the White Mountains of California was considered as the oldest tree now living. Some reports have it as 4,789 years old.\n\nWe can say,today,as ref to The Guinness Book of World Records,12,000 year old California redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) named "Eternal God" is the oldest tree on earth!!

Pine, common name for a family of coniferous trees, mostly evergreen, of widespread distribution in the temperate areas of the Northern hemisphere, and for its representative genus. The family, which contains 194 species in 9 genera, has enormous economic importance as a source of timber and wood pulp, among other products. Members of the family characteristically have spirally arranged, needle-shaped leaves. In several genera—for example, cedar and larch—the leaves are mostly borne in clusters or rosettes on short branches, or spurs.\n\nThe members of the pine family have separate female and male cones; the former produce the seeds, and the latter the pollen. Male and female cones are produced on the same plant; the seed-bearing cones are woody when mature; the seeds are winged. The family is distinguished from other conifers on the basis of its seed cones. Each of the flattened scales on which the seeds are borne is underlain by a distinct, sterile bract (reduced leaf) that may be shorter than and hidden by the scale, or may have a protruding and visible tip. The seed cones are drooping in all members of the family except the firs and a small genus confined to southern China and south-eastern Asia. All members of the family are evergreen except the larches.\n\nThe pine genus itself is the largest in the family, with 93 species, only about 13 of which are native to Europe. Pines grow in a wide range of habitats, from sea level to altitudes of 2,400 m (7,874 ft) in Europe and are distinguished from other members of the family by the leaves, which are in bundles. Each bundle contains a specific number of leaves, depending on the species, with a sheath of short, scale-like leaves at the base.\n\nPines can be divided into two groups, hard pines and soft pines, based on the number of needles per bundle and other characteristics. The hard pines have needles in bundles of two or three, and the scale leaves at the base persist in mature bundles. The wood is usually hard, with a close grain. Well-known species include the Scots pine, which is the only species of pine native to Britain and is the dominant tree of the great Caledonian forests of Scotland. It is also widespread in Europe, especially on light soils on high ground. It is a distinct tree with a small, often lopsided crown and long bare trunk with reddish bark in the upper part. The Austrian pine grows on alkaline and neutral soils in central and southern Europe. It is widely planted for timber. The stone pine is a Mediterranean species with a characteristic umbrella shape. It is grown both as an ornamental and for the edible seeds, sold as pine kernels.\n\nThe soft pines have needles in bundles of five, and the scale leaves fall away from the mature bundles. Their wood is soft and has a coarse grain. There are few native European soft pines but a number of North American and Asian species are widely grown. One native species is the arolla pine, a mountain tree growing at altitudes between 1,500 and 2,400 m (4,921 and 7,874 ft) in the Alps and Carpathian mountains. The Bhutan pine is a Himalayan tree frequently planted for its semi-weeping foliage. Bristlecone pines are native to North America. The Great Basin bristlecone, which can live more than 5,000 years, is possibly one of the oldest living things on the planet. Through analysis of the annual rings of these trees, scientists can gain information on the climate thousands of years ago.\n\nBoth pine groups are economically important for their timber, pulp, tar, and turpentine, and for their use as ornamentals. Other members of the pine family include Douglas fir, hemlock fir, and spruce.\n\nScientific classification: Pines make up the family Pinaceae. Its representative genus is Pinus. Cedars are classified in the genus Cedrus, the larches in the genus Larix, and firs in the genus Abies. The Scots pine is classified as Pinus sylvestris, the Austrian pine as Pinus nigra, the stone pine as Pinus pinea, the arolla pine a

If this is really a locational and thus geographical question then Hungary, because it is landlocked. The fact that both Hungary and Poland are ex-communist countries is less of a locational question. After all, Austria is east of part of the Czech Republic and the former East Germany, yet it wasn't part of the "Eastern Bloc".

Close. Osage Orange, scientific name is Maclura pomifera. Other vernacular names are Hedge Apple, Bodark. Bodark is from the French Bois d'arc because the wood of this tree is good for making archery bows.
