Oldest Italian cypress in the eastern US?

salicaceae

Usually they suffer from the humidity and diseases here, but occasionally exceptional individuals are found. Here are two that are older than 80 years old. I don't know of any older in the east...

Here is the state champion - in High Springs, FL - probably > 80 years old and about 80' tall..

Here is an even better one about 15 miles from here in Reddick, FL - it is 86 years old.
