Lawson Cyprus estimated age

DBH looks around 1.8 if you use the wheelbarrow as reference. DBH × pi / yearly girth. 180 x 3.14 = 565cm ÷ 2.5cm = 226 years old

I have reconsidered things. I think it's 91 years old.

I've asked them if they can count its rings

Are they still counting?

[Steven P]

Whoops! Forgot to come back to this... 81

@peds well done!

 

@Mark J if you’d left him be the 3 of us could have split the prize!

Man, this was a real corker of a thread. We should do this more often.

 

Age competitions on every tree we knock from now on, points awarded for each successful guess, whoever has the most points at the end of the year gets a weekend away in the Brecon Beacons.

On the subject of competitions, whatever happened to your 'guess the volume of chip from this tree' question?

Oh, back in November December? That was three 4x8 trailers full to overflowing. I'm going to have to maths quickly.

 

Call it 3.5m³ in a trailer, around 10m³ in total?

[Doug Tait]

I guessed under then.
