This article is about a plant. Old Tjikko is the oldest Norway spruce alive, it is over 9,550 years old and one of the oldest clonal tree. Old Tjikko is likely seeded around 7550 BC and the tree is still growing, the height of this tree is about 5 m (16 ft 5 in). Old Tjikko is located in Fulufjället mountain, Dalarna, Sweden.

- Oppose by Jo-Jo Eumerus
Look, I don't like being That Guy, but there are a few too many sources that aren't used in the article - which is quite short and with many dangling sentences. In particular this one should probably be considered (you can ask at WP:RX to get a copy) or its rebuttals refuted in some fashion. To be exact, without an expansion I don't think the article meets Wikipedia:Featured article criteria §1a through d. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 15:29, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

I agree with Jo-Jo. The article is too short at the moment, and there are lots of sources that can potentially be used to expand upon this. Some great places to find sources are WP:LIBRARY, Google Scholar, and databases from your local library system or post-secondary institutions. Z1720 (talk) 16:15, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
As noted above, this is far from needed comprehensiveness. Archiving. Hog Farm Talk 17:13, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
