Jennie,
The oldest we know of is a black Gum near Concord, NH. When it was cored it was determined to be 679 years old. That was at least 5 years ago. Giving it a couple of year to reach core height, today it is about 686 years old.

How old is the oldest known tree in New England, what is it and where is it located? I know I have the answer somewhere in my notes, but I can't seem to find it.
