That’s an Old Tree

What will they name the “new” oldest tree in the world? It must be weird to think you’re the oldest [something] in the world — like Methuselah, the 4,845-year-old Great Basin bristlecone pine — and then have that title be taken away, because it’d mean you never really were in the first place, and that the only way you ever could be is if the other one died. Watch out, unnamed 5,062-year-old P. longaeva.
