The age of the tree
Palms do not show growth rings.
You can tell a lot of things by looking at the rings of a tree. Rings of a consistent with throughout indicate the same climate each year but narrower rings indicate drought or a severe winter.
Thicker Rings indicate Optimal Conditions for Growth, Thinner Rings indicate the Opposite. Weather is the controlling Factor.

A shell with a thin ring indicates that it grew slowly, indicating poor environmental conditions.
The xylem.
Wide and evenly spaced growth rings indicate a good growing season for a tree. These rings form during periods of favorable environmental conditions, such as ample rainfall and optimal temperatures, allowing the tree to grow vigorously and produce wider rings. Narrow rings may indicate unfavorable conditions like drought or extreme temperatures.
The width of rings in a tree cross-section indicates the tree's rate of growth during each year. Wider rings typically mean the tree experienced better growing conditions, such as more sunlight, water, and nutrients, while narrower rings suggest poorer growing conditions. Studying the width of tree rings can provide insight into past environmental conditions and climate patterns.
You can tell a trees age by counting the rings in its trunk.
Wider tree rings typically represent periods of more optimal growth conditions, such as years with plentiful rainfall and sunlight. Conversely, narrower tree rings may indicate periods of stress, such as drought or competition for resources. By studying tree rings, scientists can gather insights into past climate conditions and environmental changes.
