QR – Cure – Quizzing Realms – 228

A slightly difficult one for the day.
tree
What is the claim to fame of this tree? And by what name is it referred to now? Interesting info: it’s exact location is not disclosed to ward off any vandals that might want to deface it.
Happy quizzing, and have a nice life folks. And Happy New Year, too!

********************

Six answers, and all correct! This is indeed the Methuselah tree, the oldest tree in the world! Carbon dated to be more than 4,800 years old, it's named after Methuselah, the oldest person mentioned in the (Hebrew) Bible, who lived to be 969 years old!
