The Cypress of Abarkuh (Persian: سرو ابرکوه Sarv-e Abarkuh), also called the Zoroastrian Sarv, is a Cupressus sempervirens tree in Abarkuh in Yazd Province of Iran. It is protected by the Cultural Heritage Organization of Iran as a national natural monument and is indeed a major tourist attraction with a height of 25 metres and circumference of 18 metres. It is estimated to be over four millennia old and is likely the second-oldest living thing in Asia.[1] The next oldest tree of its type is the 4,845-year-old bristlecone pine (Pinus longaeva) in the Great Basin of California.[2] Although not named or officiated, another bristlecone pine also in the Great Basin of California was announced to be 5,062-years-old.[2]
