- marcosdumay 7y agoTrees sequester carbon to the extent that they grow. They do very little of both at the beginning of life, they also stop doing both at some point. There is a maximum rate somewhere in between, in an age that varies by orders of magnitude for different species. It's pretty meaningless to talk about young or old trees without context, except on that general way in that trees get old at some point.
