AGE OF TREE?

[kenb]

Does anyone know of a way to determain the age of a tree by diameter or height? I've got oaks and maples around here I couldn't get my arms half way around and am curious how old they may be

I get enough funny looks carrying around a metal detector, If I started carrying around a chainsaw that would really flip people out!!

Take a look at the tree in my avatar. If it is smaller than this tree, it is less than 300 years old. If it is bigger than this tree, it could be older.




Seriously though...I always just guess-timate.

You can get an "increment borer" and find out for sure how old the tree is...d2
