It's because a tree just sits there and grows. It's not like an animal that moves and uses it's brain.

Plus, the long-living trees, like Sequoias (4000 years), readwoods, (2000 years) and bristlecone pines (8000 years) are adapted for living large and long or live in a certain enviorement where they can just keep growing.

I think each living thing has its own life span, not all plants live as long as the human beings, a majority of the plant life has less than half the average life span of a human being. There is no simple answer to this question, it will take a lot of research to know the truth just as we are unable to fathom why there are so many species and how did they come to evolve or take birth in the first place.

Every living thing has an objective( Not Human Objectives) and will live in most cases until those objectives are met.

Probably if we find life on an alien planet, this question can be answered partially.

Trees have such a long life by grace of god and their life is in the mode of goodness. They dont harm other creatures or creations of god. They actually serve other species by providing food, bringing rain and also lot of other necessary things.

human beings have a less life span because human beings harm themselves and also other human beings by being selfish and rude.

So according to Shrimad Bhagwatam the life span of humans in kalyuga is only 100 years at the maximum if someone is fortunate enough because people are not in the mode of goodness like trees. The attitude of humans in kalyug is to dominate others and hence their life span is reduced due to constant physical and mental exertion in trying to dominate others
