Stages
Initial Root Establishment 2.0 years
2 years — first root suckers emerge within 3-5 meters of parent
Small Grove (50 trees) 50 years
50 years — visible grove, ~50m radius
Established Colony (1000+ trees) 500 years
500 years — several acres, self-sustaining
Ancient Colony (Pando-scale) 80k years
80,000 years — 106 acres, 47,000+ stems, one organism
For perspective...
That's 80,000 years — a span of time almost incomprehensible to the human mind.
