Title: RE: [gwl-g] Trees planted in landscape--life-span???
Hi folks
 
I recently had one of my list-servs come across with this information: landscape-planted trees have a survival average of 8 years. Does anyone recognize this and can give me a reference?
 
Thanks for your thoughtful efforts.

Seems like a pretty far fetched statistic.  Did they specify type of tree, climate, care, public or private planting, anything specific?    To me this sounds like a gross overgeneralization...
