Tree - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2033 words) |
 | Trees are important components of the natural landscape and significant elements in landscaping, and in agriculture supplying orchard crops (such as apples). |
 | The earliest trees were tree ferns and horsetails, which grew in vast forests in the Carboniferous Period; tree ferns still survive, but the only surviving horsetails are not of tree form. |
 | The oldest trees are determined by growth ring counts in cores taken from the edge to the centre of the tree or from entire cross-sections. |
