if you look at the stump there should be rings around in the middle how ever many rings are in the middle should be how old the tree is.If one ring is bigger than another it means that year was rainer so the tree grew more.

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.
