Does anyone know how old this bush is? The article states that the bush
will be dated but it only states the approximated age.

Thanks for any help!

Actually the article says that they are going to try carbon-dating a bush
that has already died, but that likely was the clone-mother(?) of a bush
that is still there. Carbon dating does not have a particularly good track
record when compared to dendrochronology. The bush may be quite old, but if
they are going to find out how old seems uncertain.
