    And if you don’t know when the tree was planted, just ask the tree it’s birthday, duh.

      Just be sure to avoid the ents, they are quite defensive about their age and may raise their voice by a decibel

      Here’s the rest:

      Current year - year tree was planted = age of tree

        Unless it’s excel and the tree was planted before 01-01-1900

          Excel famously misidentifies all trees as dates.

    This does have real implications in dendrochronology. If you were to take a beam from a structure built hundreds or even thousands of years ago, you can use ring spacing along with climate records of the area it was cut down in to determine when it was cut down, which will tell you the approximate age of the structure (and as a result, the tree). The rings can reflect events such as floods, fires, droughts, and periods of rapid growth, so if you can match those up with climate records and known samples, it works out the way the graphic describes.

      The text at the bottom suggests that you can also use the trees planting year to determine its age. Which is also true

    if you planted from seed, some trees from the nursery may be 8 years old or older, specially those that come rooted in 45 gallon containers

    Oh i dunno, basic math seems to elude so many i wouldnt count on them knowing how old a tree is by having the date it was planted

    The great thing about this test is that this age value will remain constant after taking the measurements.
