How old are the oldest Drunken Forests?

Most of the trees look relatively young, but looks can be deceiving in a harsh climate.  In fact, many of the photos I've seen show relatively homogeneous smaller trees, as if something has caused them to all be young.  Obviously HUGE trees wouldn't be able to stand in this state.
