In reply to Nova546. In commercial forests most trees are harvested when they are only a centre old. If trees live to 2 thousand (which I think is accurate) and people live to 100 years (which I think the number is more like 80 but 100 is easier to turn into a presentation) that would mean it would be like letting a child live to age 5.

I found a tree in a forest and it is super big! I would guess a couple hundred years old.

My mom, dad and brother went and cut down a dead tree and when we cut it up back at our cabin we found the rings.

That tree in the US is amazing! When we found a tree stump in the forest, dad told me to count the rings. I thought he meant the three different parts of the stump (there were sections of colours) but then I realized what he actually meant – I didn’t know it was that common for a tree to get so so old! Thanks, Wild Wire!

In reply to lolpoplol1978. In old growth forests a tree can be 100 years old and still look like a sapling. (I discovered that in the book Hidden Life of Trees. I really like that book. It isn’t directly a kids book but if you can understand the language that’s about the only thing that makes it not a kids book. There’s also 2 other books called Secret Wisdom of Nature; which is about how everything relies on each other in nature, and Inner Life of Animals that I also like).
