It is well known that some trees live for a very, very long time. Have you not heard about the walking mango tree of Gujarat? Its branch produces fresh roots and when the old tree dries up, a new one, developed from this branch, takes its place.
Unlike animals, a tree goes on growing, both at the top as well as at the roots. Death can happen only when growth ends. What happens, in practice, is premature death, on account of a variety of causes like uprooting by storms, attack by fungi and above all, by greedy Man!When the tree becomes too tall, the trunk develops fatigue. If by a conscious effort, we try to prop up a tree and ensure supply of water, it is my belief that the tree will not die. Some institution may take up this project.
