Tree rings provided truly known-age material needed to check the accuracy of radiocarbon dating as a method. During the late 1950s, several scientists (notably the Dutchman Hessel de Vries) were able to confirm the discrepancy between radiocarbon ages and calendar ages through results gathered from radiocarbon dating tree rings dated through dendrochronology.
Today, tree rings are still used to calibrate radiocarbon determinations. Libraries of tree rings of different calendar ages are now available to provide records extending back over the last 11,000 years.

What absolute dating technique has been used to calibrate radiocarbon dates?
Dendrochronology (tree rings) is one of the methods used to calibrate radiocarbon dates.
What is the science of tree ring dating called?
dendrochronology
What is the difference between the dendrochronology dating method and the radio carbon dating method?
They are completely unrelated - except for their purpose, which is to find out how old something is.Dendochronology uses tree ring counting. Radiocarbon uses radioactive decay.
Who developed radiocarbon dating?
Radiocarbon dating was developed by Willard Libby in 1949.
Radiocarbon dating would be useful in dating the age of the earth?
Radiocarbon dating cannot be used to determine the age of fossils or "of the earth" because these materials no longer have radiocarbon or have negligible amount of radiocarbon.
What is a Radiocarbon dating specialist?
A specialist that dates radiocarbon
