Whats the calculation to age a tree?

[swinny]

Evening all, just wondering what the calculation is in which to age a tree..... looked on the internet and get different results

 

Not just counting rings when the tree has been cut, the one where you measure circumference/diameter? at 1.5 metre above ground level.....

 

WIll this alter due to how fast of a growth rate a species has?

 

Cheers

Does depend on tree but a rough guess is every inch per year

Every inch of the circumference?

Yes. as you say at about 1.5m

None of the formulas will work only experience will give you a rough idea as you can allow for at least some of the variables that effect growth IMO

 

For example do the formulas work for bonsia ?
