How long do trees live for?
Here is some tree trivia for you: The bristlecone pine is the oldest living tree — one specimen is 4,600 years old. Trees, like people, have a natural life cycle and a finite life span. Trees grow up, grow old, and eventually die. The lifespan of a tree is influenced by a variety of natural events, including the availability of water, sun, the presence or absence of wind, fires, insects, and diseases.
