Help on how to age a tree
Posted: Sun Feb 20, 2011 4:07 pm
Does anyone know how to tell the age of a trree from measuring its girth? I have the girth from several old trees (Oak, Scots Pine, Ash and Horse Chestnut) think the Ash is the oldest as its wider than rest, but I can't find out how to tell the age from the size of the girth as several websites say different things. Does anyone know how to tell? I did read somewhere online that said you divide the girth (cm) by 1.5 if tree is growing near other trees and 2.5 if in open (since it grows wider in open due to less restrictions)
Can anyone help?
