To age the tree the amount of annual rings you have indicates the number of years the tree has been around

Each year of a trees growth, the tree experiences more or less rain according to season, at least in the temperate zones of the earth. The cell structure is more or less dense accordingly. This gives the appearnce of rings. In areas of constant drought like desserts, or constant rain, like rain forests this does not happen. The process of recording the annular rings in the trees of a specific area is called dendrochronology. Of course if an englishman were to count the rings in his teak wood desk it would only tell him about the rain patterns in some far off unknown jungle. This method works fine for trees grown in Northern Europe, North America, etc

How are annual groth rings made?

Annual growth rings in trees are formed by the seasonal changes in climate and environmental conditions. During the growing season, trees form new cells that are larger and lighter in color, resulting in a distinct ring. In colder or drier seasons, growth slows down and cells are smaller and darker, creating a visible contrast in the rings.

Do blackberry bushes have annual rings?

Blackberries produce canes from the roots each year which only live for two years-- the first year cane, called a primocane, usually doesn't produce fruit. If it survives to the 2nd year, it's called a floricane and produces fruit and then dies, so if there are annual rings, there are only 2 of them.
