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

  If you don’t know when it was planted, then just cut the tree down and count the rings. Easy!

    And how much time is equal to a ring ? Four seasons ?

      I think one human year equals 7 tree years, or something. So if you know when the tree was planted, just multiply by 7!

  You can tell because of the way it is.

  Also a good way to make sure it doesn’t have any more birthdays

  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
