Trees usually take somewhere between 15 to 80 years to fully grow<\/a> and then continue to live for a very long time, centuries even! You may have looked at a tree and thought to yourself \u201cHow old is that tree?\u201d Well, there are ways to find out the answer to that question! You might be familiar with the age-old method of counting a tree\u2019s rings to tell how old it is. Perhaps you might have even thought that that was the only method of determining a tree\u2019s age. Well, if you find yourself wondering how old a tree is and if chopping it down to find out is not an option then you\u2019re in luck! This article is going to tell you about 5 methods you can use to<\/strong> tell how old a tree is<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, you can determine how old a tee is in five ways: Measuring its trunk, counting whorls on the tree, estimate the age based on the tree’s growth factor, by counting rings on a tree trunk, or if you do not want to cut the tree down then taking a core sample and inspecting it. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
