In a recent study, they have found that trees stop growing in height but they do not
stop adding girth.
They also found that old trees pull more carbon from the atmosphere than younger ones.

Three cheers for any and all trees.
They take CO2 out of the atmosphere.
But we humans are removing them at an alarming rate.

Deforestation is clearing Earth's forests on a massive scale, often resulting in damage to the quality of the land. Forests still cover about 30 percent of the world’s land area, but swaths the size of Panama are lost each and every year.
