Homework help?!

[jahexom]

Please advise. We have looked everywhere for the life expectancy of the following trees: Apple, Ginkgo, and Japanese Maple. Any helpful websites or answers would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Ginko

The ginkgo biloba tree lives 1,000 years and can survive a nuclear blast. It also relieves dementia and 'smoker's legs'

Flanking boulevards and dotted around urban parks across America, the ginkgo tree - also known as the maidenhair tree - is the greenery of choice for American town planners. Not only is it tall, beautiful (with an abundance of fan-shaped leaves) and a shrewd municipal investment (life expectancy: 1,000 years), but it can cope with just about every environmental hazard that nature, industry or al-Qaida wishes

Well, I was trying to find the Japanese Maple info for you since we're looking at buying one soon - but that info is impossible to find! I found several references to "over 100 years" or even 125. Tried google, yahoo, jeeves, all combos of the words japanese maple life expectancy, etc. You might try a horticulture school and call them.

Good luck!

There are a lot of links on this page - sorry I don't have time to sort through them to see if any of them have what you're looking for..... You may want to try a book store or library....

I think different cultivars have different life expectancies, but I'm sure it's generally over 100 years old.

Be sure to check out gardening sites like www.gardenweb.com and other specialty websites for bonsai and zen gardening. Or if you have time call a gardening center or society for that info.

GL!

Thanks everone. We will just go with over 100 years. We had already tried most of the search engines and several books from the library. I really appreciate your help.
