Actually, I think the estimate is now 3000 years. There is news about this subject.
The bristlecone pine must be losing out!

The coast redwood is a long-lived tree; an individual trunk may live for 1-2,000 years, but since most of their reproduction is vegetative (root- and stump-sprouting), a genetic individual may live tens of thousands of years.

They usually live about 100,000 years but it depends on if the tree is thriving or not thriving.
Hundreds of years. They become living memorials because they’ve lasted through many storms, plagues, droughts, and some towns even label them an icon of political struggle because they remain standing through so many changes.
