if plants can age and if they can die of old age.

Question

I am wondering if plants can die of old age. I have never witnessed a plant just get grey and die, so do plants age and if so, how?

Trees and others obv get bigger, but I’m wondering if their existence has a built in limit, like mammals do.

Answer 1

What if I propagate a cutting from an old plant that’s close to the end of its natural life. Will the resulting plant from the propagation have it’s lifespan “reset”?
