Do all trees have rings?

Under the bark of a tree is a layer called the cambium, which is the only living part of the trunk. This layer grows, adding new wood to the tree. A different kind of wood grows during the summer than in the fall. In the summer, the wood grows fast. It tends to be soft and light in color. In the fall, a denser kind of wood grows. This wood is more watertight and prevents the tree from drying out in the winter. So in many kinds of trees, especially in areas that have harsh winters, each year can be counted with a light area and dark area that go all the way around the tree, forming a ring.

How are the rings made in a treetrunk?

Each ring is the previous years outer bark. As the tree grows it creates a new layer for that year which grows on top of the previous years outer skin this is how you can age a tree by counting its rings. eg; 10 rings would equal 10 years. The spacing between these rings also determine which type of wood the tree is. Tightly spaced rings mean the tree has grown slowly making it a hard wood such as tightly spaced rings mean it has grown quickly and would then make the tree a soft wood such as pine. The weather and environment in which the tree grows can also determine the spacing of these rings for example a pine tree growing in Iceland, a very cold country would grow slower than say Scotland, which is close to Iceland but far enough away that the pine will grow quicker as it has a warmer climate. This would make pine from Iceland harder than pine from Scotland.


How do you find age of a tree?

The age of a tree is calculated by taking a core of wood from the tree and counting the annual rings in the wood.
