And the earth brought forth...tree ....
Genesis 1:12
"....the problem of “early complexity,” and how as we peer back in time — whether in the geographic strata or by phylogenetic reconstruction — things don’t get simpler. 
This makes no sense in light of evolution ...... a specimen of a fossil tree from northwest China, revealing and ancient, and highly complex, just makes it worse.
The oldest fossil trees belong to the Cladoxylopsida. Their water-conducting system is a ring of hundreds of individual strands of xylem (water-conducting cells) that are interconnected in many places.
Using anatomically preserved trunks, we show how these trees could grow to a large size by the production of large amounts of soft tissues and new wood around the individual xylem strands and by a controlled structural collapse at the expanding base. We have discovered a complex tree growth strategy unique in Earth history, but with some similarity to that of living palms.
This raises a provoking question: why are the very oldest trees the most complicated?"
