The decay of the neutron is associated with a quark transformation in which a down quark is converted to an up by the weak interaction . The average lifetime of 10.3 min/0.693 = 14.9 minutes is surprisingly long for a particle decay that yields 1.29 MeV of energy.
The Stella Cherry Tree is a small self pollinating tree which produces an abundance of heart shaped, shiny, black red fruit with red flesh. It can live up to 35 years on a compact 15 foot tree.
The typical lifespan of a cherry tree is as short as 16 to 20 years. Some species are longer lived than others. Black cherry trees (Prunus serotina) live up to 250 years, although the average lifespan of a black cherry is 100 years.
