How old is that stump?? DYK the age of the trees around a stump can tell you (approximately) how long ago that stump was cut? If you are a forester and know how to estimate different species of trees’ ages based on their size, you can do it that way — or you can take a tree core with an increment borer or cut a (VERY RECENTLY) dead tree and count the rings. Another way to read the history of a forest! #forest #forests #woods #tree #trees #treesofinstagram #stump #stumps #history #naturalhistory
