Alternatively you can cut it down and count the rings. HTH
Thanks for the advice! I've always wanted to know the average age of the trees in the Amazon rainforest.
starts cutting down trees
I just drove through the Redwoods in California and really couldn't believe how many rings the largest trees had. To be honest, it's way more wood than I even needed.
I take it you didn't keep a log of all the trees cut?
Unfortunately, no, but if you go out there, there should be a paper trail you can follow.
Does this apply to humans too? Instead of asking I'll just kill them to count their ribs, seems logical enough at least /s
