Can radiocarbon dating be used to find the age of a tall tree?
Radiometric dating, specifically carbon dating, can be used to find the age of an old tree. In the past, cutting a tree down and counting rings was the method used to get to the innermost material of a tree. Then you could count the rings. Presently, the inner regions of old and valuable trees are regularly sampled with a coring tool that extracts a small cylinder of material without killing the tree. One can count the rings with the core, and that is most common. (This is not unlike the idea behind ice cores.) Using the core for radiometric dating is more tedious, but may be needed if something about the growth pattern leaves ring counting undesirable. It is interesting to note that in the past, carbon dating was calibrated using data from tree rings but now the process is reversed.

when lightning strikes a tree, the bolt goes down the trunk, and possibly can reach the center of the tree making the tree die. and then it leaves a BIG black spot on the tree where the bolt striked.
How do you know how old is a tree?
To determine how old a tree is you must chop it down and count how many rings are in the trunk. Use a coring drill bit and count the rings that way. This keeps the tree alive.
