The inner ring. The tree grows a pith up the middle and grows outward from there. The summer wood, which grows in the spring and summer, makes the bulk of the wood, and the winter wood, grows in fall and winter, makes the darker, denser wood, referred to as the rings. It is because of the switching between the summer and winter wood that you can usually determine the age of a cut tree to within a year or two.
Tree rings are circles on the wood of a tree that are laid down each year. You only see them when the tree is cut down. You can tell the age of the tree and what kind of summer it was any given year by counting them.
The only country I can find that information for is the United States, where last year, 36,345,732 real Christmas trees were sold.
To tell a tree's age, you must first cut it open, by usually cutting off the trunk of the tree or a big branch. Then, if you look at the top of the trunk or branch, you will see numerous (or very little) wobbly rings. Count the number of rings, and that is the age. One ring equals one year of age. If there are forty rings, it is forty years old, and so forth.
On the stump of a tree, each line represents one year of growth on the tree ring.
Wood grain is the rough texture in wood that is made out of tiny little gaps and holes in the wood. It is caused by the way the tree grows: in rings which are produced once a year.
each ring is the 1 year life cycle of that tree. Each year a tree will produce a new ring
