Tree and tree age

A tree or large herbaceous plant is called a long standing tree.  In botany, a tree is one of the most durable plants that keeps leaves by growing a stem or trunk.  In some definitions, the meaning of "tree" is that a tree is the only woody plant, and in other words, a tree is the only plant from which wood is obtained.  It is not possible to accurately determine the height of the trees, but on the whole, adult trees reach at least 6 meters. [1] In the structure of the tree, there are usually branches that are connected to a big trunk.  Compared to other plant and animal species, trees are long-lived.  Some species of trees are more than 100 meters tall and some live several thousand years.  Trees are important elements of natural landscape and gardening and landscaping [2]

The bigger and taller the tree is, the older it is.  As trees age, other layers are formed under their bark.  The color of the layer formed in winter is different from the layer formed in summer.  This difference in the color of the layers helps us to determine the age of the Keppel tree, when we cut a tree, we see rings that are inside each other on the cut surface.  If a tree has 20 rings in its cross-section, it is approximately twenty years old, and a tree with 60 rings is approximately sixty years old.  This method is the easiest way to determine the age of trees, but in this method we have to cut the tree to count the rings.[3]

There are more advanced methods to determine the life of the tree, which are:

Carbon method 14

Potassium-argon method

Rubidium strontium method

Method of uranium, lead and thorium, lead

The method of using 230Th and 231Pa isotopes

Fluorine method

Amino acids method

In these methods, there is no need to cut the trees to determine their age.  The only method that James William Halton stated after 15 years of research as the safest and most accurate method of identification.

A young, newly grown, and young tree is called a sapling. [4]
