¶ Why this species, in the context of the Amsterdamse Bos
The longest clock in the graph. Taxus baccata can live around 3,000 years through clonal renewal — Europe's oldest individual is dated to roughly 3,000 BC. The Bos's first record is 2016; that tree could, in principle, live until the year 5,016. Most of the Bos's future is invisible because it hasn't happened yet.
