Karen, A Very Interesting image.
Is the answer 32?

I come up with 31 rings, adding 4 or 5 for the early years of growth, I will guess about 36 years old....final answer.

Agree with 32 winters and one summer more, at this level -- there would be more nearer the root, depending on how tall the cut was and how slow it grew as a seedling. Longleaf pines (not what this is) may take 5+ years to get a foot high, spending their energy on establishing a deep root first, while protecting the bud against fire with a dense brush of needles, then shooting up rapidly to get above a later fire. This is a really clear study!

Interesting shot, Karen!
Don't know about this tree, but I do know how old I am. As soon as I can find my magnifying glass, I'll get to counting and get back with ya.
