There are trees much older but to answer your question I'd say it is because they were all harvested long ago before regulations stopped them all from being harvested.
Maybe trees don't just continue to expand their entire lives? Maybe the grow based on available sunlight and nutrients feeding the roots.
Maybe I need to conduct more research
Redwoods are definitely older than 200 years, I think there are some that bust the 5000 year mark.
OK I said excluding the redwoods
Okay well I know I've seen maples and oaks that get over the 200 year mark as well. Cut down but they got there.
You've seen 6 foot diameter trees?
We have Bristlecone pine trees in California dating back to the time of Christ. Very few are left because they were logged for building materials by miners in the area. The oldest one's location is kept secret.
Lots of trees are larger than 6 foot diameter. On my Grandpa's property there are monster black oaks larger than that. One that had died I cut down for firewood as most of the core was rotten and useless for lumber. The stump was like eight feet wide. When the weather got real dry I burned out the stump which left a huge crater. The crater was smoking for about a week but the actual burning only lasted a couple days. Generally black oak top out in age at about 200 years and start declining. Not because they just die naturally as what happens is that maybe they get some damage in a top limb, like some wind damage or something and then rot slowly creeps down inside the trunk. Bit by bit over the years it can't keep up with damage and then it will go into a swift decline.
If you cut down one that's about 100 or less you can get a nice clean trunk that makes great furniture wood if seasoned properly. A good one I cut down was about three foot diameter. Very straight attractive wood.

That tree in the desert that some fucking drunk asshole ran into was less than 200 years old? (I think it was thousands of years old). I guess kys dumbass but that wasn't an option.
There's trees bigger than 6ft diameter. Banyan trees in south Florida, as well as oaks in north Florida. I've got a picture of one somewhere, I'll see if I can find it.
Here's one https://pic8.co/sh/ZagxhP.jpg
See, that's the problem with trees like that. They could grow forever but they get too heavy and one day a limb breaks. Then rot starts setting in and more break. Or wind or lightning.
Ha you're stupid
The fact remains, in norway hundreds of millions of oak trees were cut down by Dutch people, and amsterdam and other cities in Holland are ontop of Norwegian timber. Oaks can be over 1 thousand years old. Prolly more.
Ive done some research, and in the effort to destroy nature, and the human contact to it, the kike has attacked everything. Even trees.
Interesting question to me, especially when you consider remote Siberia.
Did not take the poll. 1, not all trees can live that long naturally. 2, we have this tendency to cut them down for lumber and firewood. 3, Fire. 4, bugs 5 beavers. Most trees will never come close to approaching 6" diameter, even if they could live that long. I have cut down 350 year old trees that were merely 3 feet across at the stump.
