Dendrochronology

Dendrochronology studies a tree
Calculating how old the oak could be
By counting its internal rings
Rare knowledge that often sings
Filling a botanist with glee

Very sweet. I'm sure every botanist would agree.

I would not want to cut any tree either - ever.

If the tree is that old, and I wonder about its age, I'm absolutely positive, I will not cut it down to find out!

I am right there with you, chaining myself to the tree!
