For a tree to reach full growth, it needs good climate and 
enough water. In tropical climates with warm weather and a 
lot of water, a tree can become fully grown in 30 years. A tree 
in cooler regions may take several hundred years to reach full 
growth. The oldest tree in the world is a Great Basin pine in 
California, which is approximately 5,064 years old.

expensive than usual batteries. But we 
should use rechargeable batteries more
