here are actually a couple of answers for this question. The procedure used to find the age of a tree will depend on whether the tree is living or dead.

Here's what members of our team said:

 

  • If the tree is no longer living, you can cut it down. In the place where you made the cut, look for the rings in the trunk. Each ring equals one year. Look closely because some of the rings may be difficult to see
  • Some of the rings may be smaller than others. That's OK. Each ring, no matter how big or small, equals a year.
