mc5 - AVMA Take 2

Yes, it's another round of that classic guessing game - Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, Abstract [or any combination thereof]. This effort - '03/'04 should address any queries, but then again, may just serve to confuse and baffle which some might say is the point of the game. Patience, integrity and a decent search engine may be useful ....

This is going quickly

[Tuj] - monster bonsai? - NO
[FGZStar] Lord of the Forest? - NO
[Rosie] Other than Physically famous? - Hmmm, I could argue that either way depending on what you mean by physical reasons. Let's go for NOish.
[Dujon] Bamboo-ey? - NO
[CdM] The original Royal Oak? - NO

FGZstar

Famous due to location?

CdM

In Europe?

Dujon

Would Robin Hood have strong connections?

ImNotJohn

[FGZstar] Famous for site? - NO
[CdM] European? - NO
[Dujon] Majorly Hoodie? - NO (though that's where I started before deciding on the actual answer)

Projoy

Superlative in any respect?

Projoy

(physically, I mean)

Dujon

Is this a specific tree-y object (as opposed to a unique family or grouping)?

ImNotJohn

[Projoy] x-est? - YES *prolonged applause*
[Dujon] Specific tree? - YES

ImNotJohn

Apologies for infrequent responses - heavy decorating weekend, and discovered the wireless router only works properly when it's in the room we've stripped out.

jim

Is it notable for its age?

Projoy

"Methuselah" the bristlecone pine from California?

ImNotJohn

We have a winner

Projoy has it - it is Methuselah - the current oldest known living tree (I would have accepted that as an answer). After his efforts in the last few, I regard that as well-deserved.
