How old does a tree have to be for a child to climb it?

I have an old apple tree whose age I don't know. I only know that my sister climbed on it 60 years ago when she was 5 years old…

Age doesn’t matter, it’s important that he has thick branches and isn’t morse. It can take 10 years, sometimes 15 years or longer.

You can’t answer that.

It depends on many factors:

  • Species
  • Type of Earth, clay soil is usually better than sand
  • Fertilization / water supply / failure of pest attack
  • Weather and climate
  • Type of planting – refined trees grow faster
  • from the base (this is the tree on which a rice sprinkler was completed). Strong-growing documents grow slower small-growing faster)
  • Section

If you want a “climbing tree” in the garden, there is actually only one right choice: the apple tree

Semi-stems or bush trees are generally not suitable as climbing trees because their branches are not necessarily strong enough.

At the time of the picture, this tree was only standing in my garden for 5 years.

It’s enough for a child.

Problem: As a rule, such breeding trees do not have deeper branches to climb up comfortably.

But you could also reach half-tribe apple tree. Here the base m27 usually gives quite fair fruit trees. Advantage, the branches in the half trunk are further down.

If you’re going to the nursery, you’re going to point the employee to the purpose. He can choose a more suitable tree for this and, above all, he can pay attention to it during planting.

If this should be your target then please let me know then I will give _Dir more tips.

A quite young half-tribe on M27 base (small cut) about 5 years old. With a better planting cut, you get more profitable and especially for climbing better climbing tree.

With cut you get significantly better climbing tree.

Ideal climbing tree and sounds like top care

You don’t have to worry about a 60-year-old tree. However, it always remains dangerous fortunate that the guardian angels for children also like to make overtime.

I need to test my trees, so I know when they were planted.

I suspect the error in the calculation comes due to the sandy soil

the calculation comes from tree age determine | tree portal

Doesn’t fit your estimate. He might have been badly cared for earlier. Or it’s on the sandy ground.

Tip against appleworms: Search left to thema Neamtoden. A biological form of control without consequences for the environment or your health.

There is also the method of welppape to bind the tree. Optimally the tree bark before peeling. the apple wrappers then nest in the corrugated board which is subsequently disposed of.

Fighting appleworms is an important ecological contribution. Since there are too few natural enemies, man must intervene.

About comparing with the hunt. If one did not regulate the wild game stock, young trees in the forest could not survive. Here the hunter replaces the wolf.

Measurement of the tree circumference in 1m. – 1.5m height

It’s even more accurate with a core drill. This only minimally hurts the tree and you can count the tree rings for the exact age.

That I experienced adulthood was a little miracle. That’s all I say.)

At nem Kulturapfel, I would appreciate 10-20 years, depending on the variety and background, so that it can be glued well.

On my former plot, I had a sprout meadow with wonderful old apple varieties. – Magnificent tall trees. No tree was too high for my youngest. I will never forget the sight when he looked out of a blooming apple tree from the top crown and was proud of Oskar. Never happened, even though I often couldn’t look.

Climbing on pear trees makes less fun due to their growth.

Be careful of old sweet cherry trees! Their branches are very fragile.

If you can safely attach a hammock for adults, then the branches are strong enough to climb.

It’s not possible under 10 years. I also think 10-15 years.
