What is the growth rate of a macedonian pine (pinus peuce)? All of my sources just say "slow".

I'd like to know how long it takes to reach maturity and how much growth to expect annually.

Thank you!

right in the middle of the linked page.. greater than 12 inches per year .... not slow by my ideas ...

Slow (40-60cm/year) but steady, and maintained well into maturity (UK champion is 41m tall and ~140 years old).

For me, 'fast' means a metre per year or more.

Forgot to add - potentially quite long-lived, something like 300-500 years in the right conditions. Here's an old, weatherbeaten tree in Bulgaria.

boy resin.. look like some power company hack came by and 'trimmed' that one real good ... lol ...

converting to inches ..... 16 to 23 inches ... i guess that is greater than 12 inches ....

Except it's a lloooong way away from the nearest power cables - quite a way away from the nearest road, too!

Might've been hit by an avalanche or two, though. Saw some young ones not far away from it that had been knocked down by an avalanche.

I believe all examples I've seen here were growing much less than 12 inches per year.
