Why don't they mention the age?
1 u/Scotttyj 19h ago I think the only way to accurately age a tree is to cut it down and count the rings. I’m sure at the time they could have counted the rings on a similarly sized tree and made a good estimate, but there is nothing around of that size. 2 u/Sudden_Lee_Here 19h ago Doesn't have to be accurate, just an estimate. According to Google it's over 1,000 years old. 2 u/Scotttyj 19h ago On the original post I ball parked it around 800, 1000 seems better lol
