Growing Trees

[stafforj]

Dan,
A few more points:

The age at maturity cant be set to more than 20 years!
So according to this, a Oak, or Giant Redwood is mature at 20 years!

I can accept the gwoth slider only having a 20 year range, as I dont really want to look more than 20 years in the future, but having a limited maturity age means iether the groth rate for slow growing trees must be wrong, or else that you cant have such trees older than 20 years old.

For a landscaping product I find these limitations unacceptable.


Some of the points I have raised are surely easy to fix (Im a software engineer myself), so is there any chance of a fix for these problems in the near future. The two main fixes I would like to see are maturity age > 20 years, and being able to grow trees on from their current age, ie start with trees aged 3 and 6 years, set groth slider to 5 years, and see trees aged 8 and 11 years.

PS: are the same problems in home designer pro 7.0 ?

I have filed the problem with the limit with our engineering department. It seems rather arbitrary to limit the aging of plants to only 20 yrs when most houses can be there for much longer.
