What is the oldest tree species in the world (use the latin and common name)?

Ancient Bristlecone Pine. A specimen in California has survived for 4767 years, more than a millenia more than the next oldest tree.

What is the oldest tree species in the world (use the latin and common name)?
I don't know the Latin name, but the oldest trees currently alive are the bristlecone pines of California; they are far older than the redwoods and estimated to be over 5000 years old. If you are referring to the trees that are believed to have developed longest ago, that is a different species.

The oldest on record is Methusela, this tree is in California.

Ancient bristlecone pines (Pinus longaeva) in the Snake Range of Nevada, a few meters away from the remains of the Currey Tree, the oldest known tree of any species. The Currey Tree was, unfortunately, cut down by its discoverer, one of the saddest moments in the history of dendrochronology.

The oldest trees are determined by growth rings, which can be seen if the tree is cut down or in cores taken from the edge to the centre of the tree. Accurate determination is only possible for trees which produce growth rings, generally those which occur in seasonal climates; trees in uniform non-seasonal tropical climates grow continuously and do not have distinct growth rings. It is also only possible for trees which are solid to the centre of the tree; many very old trees become hollow as the dead heartwood decays away. For some of these species, age estimates have been made on the basis of extrapolating current growth rates, but the results are usually little better than guesswork or wild speculation.
