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.
