What is formed by summer wood cells and the following year's spring wood cells?

The combination of summer wood cells and the following year's spring wood cells forms a growth ring, also known as an annual ring, in trees. Spring wood, which is formed during the early part of the growing season, is typically lighter and less dense, while summer wood, produced later in the season, is denser and darker. Together, these layers provide insight into the tree's growth conditions and age. Each growth ring represents one year of growth.

Where does height growth and cell division occur in tree growth?

Height growth occurs in the apical meristem. Radial growth occurs at the cambium layer. Cells divide into phloem and xylem. Phloem cells become the bark. Xylem cells become wood. In the early season the cells are larger, as the season goes on and water, light, and nutrients diminish the cells become thicker walled and smaller. The different sizes are termed spring and summer wood and these are the rings that you can count to determine the trees age.

Is the oldest ring on a tree the middle ring or the outer ring?

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.
