Step into the pages of time with a truly once-in-a-lifetime chance to own a living piece of nature’s legacy. We are auctioning off three saplings from the legendary BLK 227, the oldest cypress tree on Earth and 5th oldest tree, standing strong and majestic for over 2,600 years.
This tree is not just a relic of the past – it’s a symbol of endurance, history, and nature's incredible power to thrive across millennia. Hailing from the Three Sisters Swamp of the Black River, this ancient forest hosts many trees that are over 1,000 years old. You'll be receiving a sapling that is a direct descendant of this awe-inspiring giant, rooted in a history that predates written language.
By bidding, you're not only taking home a unique treasure for your garden or forest but also supporting Hope North Carolina.
Imagine watching your sapling grow, knowing it shares DNA with a tree that has witnessed the rise and fall of empires, the shifting of continents, and the evolution of life itself.
This is more than an auction – it’s an opportunity to carry forward a legacy of resilience and longevity. The auction will close soon, and these saplings will never be available again. Don’t miss your chance to take home a piece of living history!
