Every tree dies. Not every tree fully lives.

It's the tree life cycle. If you plant all your trees at the same time they will all die at the same time. It's pretty annoying. There's a mod out called tree controller that can fix this. You can vary the ages of the trees so that doesn't happen or just turn off the tree growth all together.

Quick question about the tree controller, if I plant a tree as an adult, does it stay as an adult and will not grow any further, righter?

No they will continue to grow. You can turn the growth cycle off with the controller though and the trees will remain the way you plant them. You can also choose to plant trees of different ages at the same time. This works, Your trees will still die, but not all at the same time. It looks more natural. One thing I did find out the hard way is if you are using Anarchy to plant dense forest or plant trees in places you normally can't and leave the tree life cycle on once the tree dies it won't grow back if it's in a location where there is a conflict with other trees or objects. I spent a lot of time detailing a neighbourhood with tree line streets with oak trees that looked great, but they all disappeared when they died and didn't grow back.

What I have heard is that the trees have a life cycle (albeit slightly uneven growth cycles) that features trees dying, but they will reseed themselves. So when your pine tree dies, it will be replaced with a pine tree in the exact same spot. The reason you see wide areas affected is that we usually (as builders) seed trees in a specific area at the same time, so the trees are roughly the same age in a given area. Or its machine elves that form the basis of reality and they emerge from between the cracks in reality and murder trees after you sleep. The hot fix is dont sleep, ever.

My trees, even when planted at the same time, don't all die at the same time. I've noticed, while busy doing other things ie building a massive town ha ha, the trees die, but in some places smaller trees remain. It's like the adult trees drop seeds or something? Is that a thing? I'm still testing this theory and trying not to delete dead trees immediately.

I spent ages planting nice large Oaks in my city and Ive noticed my layout of Trees, the Sizes have changed to small and have been evenly spaced out, this I never do. The game keeps changing my Landscaping.
All the Large trees I planted are now small, and diff types of trees have replaced them, theres no point in creating custom landscaped parks and areas if the game refreshes everything youve added with crap.

Trees in the game have a life cycle and when an old mature tree dies it stays dead for some time and then is replaced with a new sapling. This will continue forever in your game unless you use the tree controller mod and set the setting that prevents trees from changing or dying.
