This article appears to have serious problems. Aside from its lack of references, the Lead states:
"The term "Yakusugi" refers to trees that are more than 1,000 years old." -- a statement that misses the pretty obvious connection to
Yakushima, as evidenced not only by the yaku- phoneme, but the use of the same kanji. On this point, I was tempted to mark it as Stub-class, since there is no way to know how much more of the article has misleading information.

I retranslated the lede off of the Japanese article. The original does qualify the Yakusugi as the trees from Yakushima, and it must have been a unwitting omission in the process of translation.
I'm not sure about how sound the definition is either. The Ja article at least now gives one source, a bulletin from an "administrative corporation" that endorses the 1,000+ Yakusugi, younger kosugi definition, but it's not footnoted. My cursory search didn't turn up further sources, within a short time turn around, and that will have to do for now.--
