nope, but I had a nice pan fried burger for dinner tonight

here are some key word clues often used to describe this superlative living thing:

quaking
heaviest
oldest

uncle phil · 09-28-2010, 03:36 AM

pando?

Pando (or The Trembling Giant) is a clonal colony of a single male Quaking Aspen (Populus tremuloides) located in the U.S. state of Utah, all determined to be part of a single living organism by identical genetic markers and one massive underground root system, although whether it is a single tree is disputed, as it depends on one's definition of an individual tree. The plant is estimated to weigh collectively 6,615 tons, making it the heaviest known organism. The root system of Pando is claimed by some to be among the oldest known living organisms in existence at 80,000 years of age, though the method used to produce this estimate (an estimate on when climatic conditions were last suitable for seedling germination) is not supported by current evidence of germination..

BadNick · 09-28-2010, 07:34 AM

bingo! You finally found me, unc.

I actually had a hard time finding an exact location for Pando (word means "I spread" in Latin) and this is the only location indicator I ever found:

"The Way To take in Pando’s size, park at Doctor Creek on UT 25 and climb 500 vertical feet up Mytoge Mountain on the Lakeshore National Recreation Trail. At mile three, look back to see Pando straddling the road. Continue for a 15-mile loop."

You're up now, unc.
