Some of the shorter-lived trees are include palms, which can live around 50 years. The persimmon has an average lifespan of 60 years, and the black willow will probably survive for around 75 years. On the other hand, Alaska red cedar can live up to 3,500 years.

Trees “slow down” during winter. Trees that lose their leaves or needles stop photosynthesizing (getting energy from the sun) entirely. They halt above-ground growth until temperatures warm up and they can begin getting nutrients from sunlight again.

Trees can live anywhere from less than 100 years to more than a few thousand years depending on the species. However, one species in particular outlives them all. The Great Basin Bristlecone Pine (Pinus longaeva) has been deemed the oldest tree in existence, reaching an age of over 5,000 years old.

I'd say right now the “the leaves are budding” because buds are starting to appear, but when the buds begin to give way to leaves I'd call that “sprouting.”

Methuselah. With a death-defying 4,842 years under its belt, this Great Basin bristlecone pine deserves its name. This is considered to be the oldest non-clonal organism (i.e., individual plant) on the planet.

Seasonal Changes. The majority of tree growth occurs in late spring and early summer. During most of the growing season, trees (plants) produce a material called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll enables plants to convert water and carbon dioxide in the presence of sunlight into carbohydrates, which plants use for food.

A colony of Huon pine trees covering 2.5 acres (1.0 ha) on Mount Read (Tasmania) is estimated to be around 10,000 years old, as determined by DNA samples taken from pollen collected from the sediment of a nearby lake.

In general, trees live from 30 years to 2000 years ing to their species, for an average tree lifespan of 300-400 years. That said, the oldest tree in the world is more than 5000 years old, and many species of trees live well beyond 2000 years, while some species like willow trees only live for about 30 years.
