bristlecone pine
The oldest living tree to be dated by counting rings is the bristlecone pine.
The oldest tree known to date was discovered in 2004 in Sweden. It was a Norway Spruce whose root system was radiocarbon-dated to 9500 years ago. The stem portions average 600 years and then die back but the root system sends up another shoot. The oldest living tree is a Bristlecone Pine in the White Mountains of California. By counting rings from a core sample it was dated to 5000 years ago.
No. The trunk is the oldest part . Counting the rings of the trunk is how you tell the trrees' age.
The size of a tree's trunk does not necessarily indicate its age. Factors like species, environmental conditions, and growth rate can all affect trunk size. Tree age is better determined by counting growth rings, conducting core samples, or historical records.
The oldest tree on earth is the Red Oak Tree, Olive tree's can live for longer but they aren't know for living for a long time. Mostly because its almost impossible to tell how old a tree is without cutting it down and counting the rings.
counting the annual rings
you cant
rings seenin the stem
By counting the number of rings in a tree trunk, you can estimate its age. Each ring typically represents one year of growth, with the outer rings being the most recent. Counting the rings from the center of the trunk outwards gives a rough estimate of the tree's age.
it has around 10,000 rings currently and the inner most rings being the oldest and outer rings being younger
Actually, sometimes it won't really work if you counted their rings on their shell. And yeah I guess you could try counting their rings. :)
The diameter of Saturn is 120,536 km, not counting the rings.
