And if you don't know when the tree was planted, just ask the tree it's birthday, duh.

If you don't know when it was planted, then just cut the tree down and count the rings. Easy!

You can tell because of the way it is.

If X, then X

At least it's not wrong

This does have real implications in dendrochronology. If you were to take a beam from a structure built hundreds or even thousands of years ago, you can use ring spacing along with climate records of the area it was cut down in to determine when it was cut down, which will tell you the approximate age of the structure (and as a result, the tree). The rings can reflect events such as floods, fires, droughts, and periods of rapid growth, so if you can match those up with climate records and known samples, it works out the way the graphic describes.

You could just ask. 🤷🏻‍♂️

When did someone train a Flat Earth AI to answer Google questions

The missile knows where it is because it knows where it isn't

Also a good way to make sure it doesn't have any more birthdays

if you planted from seed, some trees from the nursery may be 8 years old or older, specially those that come rooted in 45 gallon containers

Oh i dunno, basic math seems to elude so many i wouldnt count on them knowing how old a tree is by having the date it was planted

The great thing about this test is that this age value will remain constant after taking the measurements.
