King Clone
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
King Clone is thought to be the oldest Creosote bush ring in the Mojave Desert. It is 22 meters (67 feet) in diameter and is estimated to be 11,700 years old, possibly the oldest living thing in the world.[1]
The ring is on restricted-access public land approximately 0.6 miles north of California Route 247 on Bessemer Mine Road near the towns of Lucerne Valley and Landers. It was identified and the age documented by Frank Vasek, a professor at the University of California, Riverside.
The term King Clone was probably intended as a pun of King Kong.
