Life Span What happens when trees age?
Useful lifetime expectancy
Many of Melbourne's trees are approaching the end of their useful life due to a combination of age and the combined stresses of extended drought, extreme heat and water restrictions. The useful life of a tree is an estimate of how long a tree is likely to remain in the landscape based on health, amenity and risk.
Healthy trees are thriving and have a life expectancy exceeding 20 years.
At risk trees may be stressed due to drought or other environmental factors but cultural treatments (e.g., irrigation, mulching etc.) can be used to restore trees to health.
Trees that are declining have reached a point where treatments may prolong life but will not restore the health of the trees, and dying trees require removal from the landscape.
