How do Bible Literalists deal with trees older than the flood? According to Answers in Genesis, the flood happened in approximately 2348 BC, which means it would've happened about 4360 years ago. Wikipedia has a list of the oldest individual trees known, of which three are older than 4360 years (one that was cut down was [at least] 4,844 years old).

The Flood clearly should've killed all of the trees that were around at the time. Yet, these trees were definitely around before the Flood happened. So, how do Bible Literalists deal with this issue? How do they explain the fact that we have trees older than the Flood?

Note: this is indirectly related to Young Earth Creationism as the calculated age of the Earth (about 6,016 years) depends on the date of creation.
If it is a scientific certainty that a tree create one and only one ring per year, then this would be problematic.  However, as you can read on Wikipedia, this is not always the case:


  Alternating poor and favorable conditions, such as mid summer
  droughts, can result in several rings forming in a given year.  Wikipedia


So, it would only take conditions to produce two rings in less than 1 out of 9 years to make up for the "missing" 500 years.  So, the 4,844 rings (not years) appears to be within a reasonable variation to place the actual germination of the tree to be just after the flood.
