One in Santa Barbara was planted in the 1870s and is still going strong.

Dear All,
Can anyone tell me the life expectancy of the Moreton Bay Fig?
We have some about 110 years old growing in Sicily the branches
of which need to be cut back, and I'm wondering how they will respond.
They appear to be in good health
One lost a big branch a couple of years ago, when another tree crashed into it during a
storm and has regenerated well, so I'm hoping they will take on a new lease of life,
but I would love to know how long they are likely to live.
many thanks
Alison
