Age Of Tree Maturity.

Authorities on forestry say that 70
years are required for the oak to reach
maturity; or the ash, larch and elm,
about the same length of time; for
the spruce and fir, about 80 years.
After this time their groth remains
stationary for some years, and then de-
cay begins. There are, however, some
exceptions, for oaks are still living
which are known to be 1000 years old.
