Thought to be around 250 years old, the Cubbington Pear Tree may have been the United Kingdom's oldest wild pear tree. [5] [6] The tree was the second largest wild pear tree in the country, measuring some 3.78 metres (12.4 ft) in girth. [5] [6] Despite its age the tree continued to blossom and bear fruit until the end of its life. [7]
The berries bear 3 to 4 small seeds on clusters around 8" long. Germination is quick and fruit ripens early. The species is able to bear fruit on young shoots pushed out by 2 to 4 year old wood if last year's wood has been lost to winter damage. [4]
Date palms can take 4 to 8 years after planting before they will bear fruit, and start producing viable yields for commercial harvest between 7 and 10 years. Mature date palms can produce 70–140 kilograms (150–300 pounds) [21] [22] of dates per harvest season. They do not all ripen at the same time so several harvests are required.

One study found that frailty increased steadily with age, starting with 4% of adults 65-69 years, 7% of adults 70-74 years, 9% of adults 75-79 years, 16% of adults 80-84 years, and 26% of adults ...
