Hovenia dulcis has a long life. If the external environment adapts to its growth, it can live for more than 100 years. However, there are also views that although this tree has a long life, few people see it blossom, bear fruit and fall leaves, because it will die after two or three years of planting. This statement may not be accurate, because bitter citrus reticulata is a perennial tree, which can survive for a long time under suitable growth conditions. But the specific life span will be affected by many factors, such as soil, climate, management and so on.
