Trees will take decades to achieve their maturity. After 25-30 years, an oak tree begins to achieve maturity, while an apple tree can mature in around 10 years. When trees as a whole hit a certain age, there is no specified timeline, this all depends on the tree type and whether it is a normal size or modified size such as dwarf varieties they slow down.
By using an underground network of fungi that help to share energy from one tree to another, trees have a special way of interacting with each other. There is a ‘mother’ tree at the centre of every network. The trees also use these adjacent networks to warn each other about pests that could target trees in the area.
With about 300 of these species being listed as critically endangered and even more on the endangered list, it is believed that there are over 3 trillion trees worldwide. Thats less than half their was in prehistoric times!
