Biology of the Black Spruce - Part 2 Black spruce can grow to reach heights up to 20 m and are thought to live as long as 280 years, though few are thought to reach this age, owing to the prevalence of forest fires and logging in the boreal forest. The dominant feature in the life cycle of the black spruce, and all other coniferous trees, is the cone. A cone, which may also be called a strobilus, consists of a central axis which is surrounded by tightly packed, thick scales.

Pinus strobus The natural fire regime of White Pine/Red Pine forests is nonlethal surface fires at 5-50 year intervals, punctuated by severe stand-replacing fires at longer intervals. In the BWCA low-severity fire intervals average 36 years, and severe fire intervals average 160 years.

- Diet: grasses, roots, berries, insects, fish, and mammals (anything organic) Lifespan: Average 10 years, but can live up to at least 30 years. Reproduction: Black bears mate during the summer. Female bears give birth in the middle of winter to 1–6 cubs, but two cubs or twins are common.

Box turtle The survivorship curve of box turtles is therefore probably similar to that of other long-living turtles. The average life span of adult box turtles is 50 years, while a significant portion lives over 100 years. The age of a growing box turtle in the wild can be roughly estimated by counting the growth rings on the scutes; the plastron is the best place to do this because it also allows examination of wear pattern.

Black Bear Biology & Behavior Female black bears do not mate while rearing young, so may only produce six litters in her lifetime. The average lifespan of a black bear can be up to 18 years, and the oldest documented wild bear lived to 31. During their lives black bears can suffer from arthritis, cavities, fractures from falls, broken and worn teeth, bites from other animals and gun shots.

How Long Do Conifers Live? California’s storied redwood trees are probably best-known as the tallest trees in the world, towering 350 to 400 feet tall. The conifers are a fast-growing tree, growing 3 to 5 feet per year in the first five years and reaching 90 feet tall by 25 years. The average life span of a redwood tree is more than 600 years. Only two species of redwood trees are still found in North America, the coast redwood and the giant sequoia.

American Forests Older trees develop grayish, furrowed bark. Not that many aspen get the opportunity to develop these wrinkles of wisdom, however, because aspen is a relatively short-lived tree. Quaking aspen has an average lifespan of 60-70 years, while bigtooth aspen may live closer to 100 years. There are anomalies, though.

Australian Pine This tree can reach heights of over 100 feet. Australian pine often grows 5-10 ft per year and has been known to reach 30 ft in two years. In Florida, the usual life span of an Australian pine is 40-50 years, but there are reports that they can live hundreds of years in parts of their native range. CULTURE:ommon names: ironwood, beefwood, she oak, and horsetail tree. General information: Long-favored for use in erosion control along beaches, Australian-Pine Tree is now outlawed in many parts of Florida due to its invasive nature, rapid growth rate, and non-native status.

- There is an isolated native population in the Black Hills that differs slightly from the general species. This population is known as Black Hills spruce (Picea glauca var. densata). Both have a dense pyramidal form with short (1/2″-3/4″), four sided, single, evergreen needles. The foliage of Black Hills spruce is a little more dense and darker green. They both can be adapted to many different planting sites with the Black Hills spruce being a little more adapted to harsher soil conditions.

- Individual quaking aspen stems usually live for about 50 to 60 years, sometimes up to 150 in the West. However, in many cases, each tree is actually part of a much larger organism, since multiple stems can sprout from the same root system.

Finding the Perfect Christmas Tree Back Â» The branches are very stiff, however, and can support the heaviest ornaments. White spruce, or Black Hills spruce, is not a commonly available Christmas tree at lots though it is used in the Black Hills where it is cut from the National Forest. It does make a nice tree, particularly when cut fresh, as needle retention is poor. The tree also does not have much of a fragrance and occasionally Black Hills spruce trees can produce a slight musky odor. Caring for Your Tree Just before you bring the tree in the house cut the base between a half and one-inch from the bottom.

The Average Life Span of a Grey Squirrel Average Life Span in the Wild. The average life span of grey squirrels is extremely brief -- generally only between 11 and 12 months, according to the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. Despite this brevity in life expectancy, some free roaming grey squirrels have actually surpassed 10 years in age.

Biology of the Black Spruce - Part 2 The roots of black spruce tend to spread out from the main trunk in a ring just at or below the soil surface, or right on top of the rocks in some case. They form a flattened circle about the tree, so the trunk is supported like a post sitting on a plate. Black spruce stand in lowland. Life Cycle

Honey locust Detail of thorns. Honey locusts, Gleditsia triacanthos, can reach a height of 20–30 m (66–98 ft), with fast growth, and are relatively short-lived; their life spans are typically about 120 years, though some live up to 150 years.They are prone to losing large branches in windstorms.oney locusts produce a high quality, durable wood that polishes well, but the tree does not grow in sufficient numbers to support a bulk industry; however, a niche market exists for honey locust furniture. It is also used for posts and rails since it takes a long time to rot.
