Re: Age of the tree?

On www.anseladams.com they note that Adams photographed it around 1940, but also that Carleton Watkins had photographed it back in 1867. Despite the efforts of park rangers who carried buckets of water to it, the tree perished in the drought of 1976-77 and fell in August 2003.
