Hi,

Can someone please let me know the average life span of a Norfolk Pine
grown outdoors?

Thanks!

Depends where you live.
"Although this plant enjoys cooler termperatures (about 65 degrees
Fahrenheit), it does not fare well in areas where frost occurs. The
frost can cause great damage to its tender needles, possibly resulting
in the death of the plant. In the United States, some of these plants
can survive in Florida, but not any further north."

In California, Norfolk Island pines (Araucaria heterophylla) do well in
coastal areas as far north as San Fransico Bay. In southern California,
they thrive in much of Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego
Counties.
