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.
