  How long did you have this meme parked until it finally worked?

  Also, if you didn’t count the rings then you don’t know how old the tree is. I don’t care how old your uncle thinks it is. You have no idea how often this comes up and how many completely implausible tree ages are just posted as fact in the internet.

    It’s how we calibrate radiocarbon dates. :) I make the computer do it though.

    It’s not like this is the only way to estimate the age of a tree

      It’s the main accurate way, at least for living trees.

      There are other methods but none really have a proven track record of accuracy the way tree-ring based methods do.

      For well documented trees that coexisted with literate cultures, historical records can be used, though these records can sometimes be wrong. Some trees have ages from oral tradition too but these are difficult to verify.
