Determining the age of a tree is fairly easy. It involves simply counting the growth rings that can be seen on the surface of a log or on an increment core from the trunk of a tree.
Each ring represents the growth produced during one growing season but contains two parts that can be distinguished on the basis of color: the early wood, less dense, is whitish in color; and the late wood, more dense, is darker in color and forms during the summer.
Counting the growth rings tells us the number of growing seasons the tree has been through, and hence the age of the tree. Some tree's have quite allot of rings!!
by cutting it down first and then counting the rings inside. the number of rings inside the tree is how many years old it is.

You can also do it with out killing the tree by drilling a core sample from it. A narrow hollow auger is screwed into the tree until it reaches the center. Then it is pulled out and a long tube of wood comes out with it. Kinda like core samples from the earth only on a smaller scale.
When you cut it down, count the rings on the trunk, that's how many years there are.
Counting the annual growth rings of its stem
This might just be a rumor but I think you count the rings in the tree trunk..
when it has been cut down, count the rings each one represents 1 years of age.
There are rings in a tree trunk. You count the rings and that's how old the tree is.
The most common way is to count the growth rings from the centre of the main trunk to the bark, each year the tree adds one ring of growth, e.g. 30 growth rings is equal to 30 years old.
You could tell the age of the tree by the rings by counting the rings.The ring equal one year. example: If 500 rings are in the trunk then it will be 500 years.
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.
Tree rings. Each year, a new ring is formed in the secondary xylem of stem.
A tree that bears cones.
how
palm tree don't have ring
the tree's age, if it was lacking water and stuff.
You could tell the age of the tree by the rings by counting the rings.The ring equal one year. example: If 500 rings are in the trunk then it will be 500 years.
One can tell the age of a tree by cutting a part of a tree and then counting the rings as a tree produces a two-colored ring per year, a light spring portion and a dark summer portion.
the rings on the top section of a tree trunk tell the age of the tree
Dendrochronology or tree-ring dating .
1. The age of a tree can be determined by counting the annual rings (cambiam rings in dicotledons). 2. The age of a horse is determined by the number of teeth 3.The age of rocks can be determined by carbon dating.
it could tell u about what age it is or or how much water it gets each year
No. The trunk is the oldest part . Counting the rings of the trunk is how you tell the trrees' age.
You can tell a trees age by counting the rings in its trunk.
Could the rings on the inside of the tree, the more rings, the older it is.
You cant tell their age like a tree. You have to know when they were born. That is all you can do.hope it helped. Sorry there is nothing you can do.
