How Many Years Can a Plane Tree Live? A Detailed Explanation of the Plane Tree's Lifespan
Flowers, grass and trees, like humans, also have a lifespan, but different tree species have different lifespans.So do you know how many years a plane tree can live?
1. How many years can a plane tree live?
Generally, a healthy plane tree can live 80-100 years. But in Gulebage Village, Aksalayi Township, Moyu County, Hotan, there is a plane tree whose age was determined by relevant experts from the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to be around 1000 years.
2. What are the planting conditions for plane trees?
1. Time
Planting plane trees in spring gives a much higher survival rate than planting them in other seasons. Even after leaf fall in late autumn, the survival rate of planted plane trees will not be as high as that of planting plane trees before bud break in spring.
2. Soil
The first thing to choose when planting plane trees is the land. It is recommended to choose an open area with good drainage, so that you need not fear waterlogging and can also get ventilation, and the water source must be available whenever needed. Plane trees also have no rigid requirements for soil; ordinary black soil, yellow soil, sandy loam and so on can all be used to grow plane trees. Plane trees can grow normally in saline-alkali land with a salt content no higher than 0.2 percent. In clay land with poor water permeability, some drainage work needs to be done.
3. Temperature
The growth temperature of plane trees is 10-35 degrees. In the northern regions of our country, such as Beijing, Tianjin, Baoding, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Urumqi, Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Tibet, Jilin and Henan, they are planted in large quantities and can overwinter and grow safely. In the south, high temperatures of 40 degrees cannot affect the survival of plane trees, but continuous hot and dry weather requires watering and sprinkler irrigation to cool them down.
4. Water
When planting plane trees, water thoroughly in one go, filling the gaps in the planting hole firmly with water. 2-4 days after planting, water once again. After that, water appropriately once every 10 days. In dry seasons, keep watering regularly.
