<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nTree rings really do tell age! Every year, a tree adds a new layer to its width; this new layer forms a ring. The age of a tree can be determined by counting the rings from the pith of the trunk to the bark. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tree rings are the most accurate indicator of a tree\u2019s age. They indicate what the natural conditions were in the environment the tree was growing in throughout the years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Due to being exposed to different natural conditions, a single tree ring can contain both light and dark lines. This is especially true for trees growing in places with four seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tree rings do tell a tree\u2019s age and also the conditions of the environment that the tree grew in. The variances in the natural environment can cause the tree rings to bear both light and dark lines and vary in width.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
