First of all, Tom, as I believe, was created by the music of the Ainur because he was there before the Dark Lord came from Outside (the Dark Lord of whom Sauron is only an emmisary, Melko(r)), and He cam in the beginning with the Vala, this coupled with that the thought of Yavanna (and Aule?) awoke at the same time as the firstborne would lead me to believe that Tom, sonce he was around before the Valar, is the oldest as his name suggests and Fangorn is the eldest "creature" on ME, and Tom is the embodiment of Arda/Ea. I believe that Tom was "older" in the sense of existing longer, but does tom age at all?
