Hi
A query for you US folk who live on the west coast.
One of my sons was perusing the Guiness book of records and came across
mention of a Seqoia known as "Eternal God" said to be 7,000 years old.
At the same time he discoverd a French website also giving records which
mentioned the same tree but claimed as far as we can make out that it is
12,000 years old.

This latter figure seems pretty unlikely to me as I have an the ice
sheet would have still been covering the area 12,000 years ago.

Anybody know the tree in question and particularly anything definite
about its "vital statistics" ?
