Hello

Every year, the tree trunk grows with two circles, the first circle is spring wood and the second circle is autumn wood.

Therefore, you should consider both circles to estimate the age of the tree in one year.

Good luck.

Andrew Paul McKenzie Pegman

I agree with Hasan Kazemi :)

Determining the age of a jujube tree (Ziziphus jujuba) using the average growth of its tree rings per year is a common method in dendrochronology, the study of tree rings. Here's how you can do it:

Collect a Core Sample: Use a tool like an increment borer to extract a core sample from the trunk of the jujube tree. Make sure to choose a healthy tree and select a location on the trunk where the rings are clearly visible.

Count the Rings: Once you have extracted the core sample, examine it carefully under magnification. Count the number of rings visible in the core sample. Each ring represents one year of growth.

Measure the Width of Rings: After counting the rings, measure the width of each ring. The width of the rings can vary depending on environmental factors such as rainfall, temperature, and soil conditions. Typically, wider rings indicate periods of favorable growth conditions, while narrower rings indicate periods of stress or limited growth.

Calculate the Average Growth: Calculate the average width of the rings by adding the widths of all the rings together and dividing by the total number of rings. This will give you the average growth per year for the jujube tree.

Estimate the Age: Once you have the average growth per year, you can estimate the age of the jujube tree by dividing the total width of the rings by the average growth per year. This will give you an approximate age of the tree in years.

It's important to note that while this method provides a good estimate of the age of the tree, it may not be entirely accurate. Environmental factors and tree physiology can influence the growth of tree rings, so additional methods such as carbon dating or historical records may be used to corroborate the age estimate.

peace be upon you

I wanted to know if we have an international average for jujube

For example, the annual growth of a jujube tree is 2 mm in waterless areas and 4 mm in suitable areas

In Iran, I found this number to be 4 mm, but I could not find any information on the world level

With luck

Determining the age of a jujube tree (Ziziphus jujuba) using the average growth rate of its annual rings can provide an estimate, but it's important to note that several factors can influence growth rates, including environmental conditions, soil quality, water availability, and the health of the tree. Additionally, jujube trees may not always produce distinct annual rings, especially in regions with less pronounced seasonal changes.

However, as a general guideline, many deciduous trees, including jujube trees, typically form one growth ring per year in temperate climates where there are distinct seasonal variations. The width of these rings can vary depending on environmental conditions. Here's how you might estimate the age of a jujube tree using its growth rings:

Counting Rings: Cut a cross-section of the jujube tree trunk or a branch close to the base. Each ring represents one year of growth. Start counting from the center of the trunk or branch (the pith) outwards.

Measuring Growth: Measure the width of each ring. Typically, the rings formed during favorable growing seasons with abundant resources (e.g., water, sunlight) will be wider, while those formed during harsh conditions may be narrower.

Calculation: Add up the widths of all the rings to determine the approximate age of the tree. If the tree has been subjected to stress or environmental fluctuations, such as drought or disease, the rings may be less distinct or irregular, making it more challenging to determine age accurately.

Consider Other Factors: Keep in mind that while counting rings is a common method for estimating tree age, it's not always foolproof. Factors like trauma, disease, or environmental stress can cause anomalies in ring formation, leading to inaccuracies in age estimation.

Professional Assistance: For precise age determination or if you encounter difficulties in interpreting the rings, you may want to seek assistance from a professional arborist or dendrochronologist (a scientist who studies tree rings).

It's also worth noting that some jujube varieties, particularly those cultivated in warmer regions with less pronounced seasons, may not produce distinct annual rings. In such cases, alternative methods, such as carbon dating or historical records, may be necessary to estimate the age of the tree.
