Forestry science tests tree age by annual rings in pamphlet
Forestry experts in Europe long held that tree age can be read from ring counts. A new Agriculture Department pamphlet discusses ring structure, ring width variation, and how to prepare cross sections for counting. It notes light spring wood and dark summer wood, advises marking rings, and mentions tools from magnifiers to microscopes. European counts from permanent records confirm method accuracy.
