Tractor tire around the tree....

[kebo]

This old tractor tire is laying beside a road close to one of the gates to my hunt club. Thought I would take a pic and share it. Any guesses as to how long the tire has laid there???

It depends on what kind of tree is growing in it.

Some grow that big in just a few years while others may take 10-15 years to reach that size

Is that one tree or two? Do you know what kind it is?

Is the correct answer even known ?

Ummm, no. Just thought I would ask for some guesses! My own guess is the tree is about 12-14yrs old.

It's actually two tree's growing out of the same stump. I probably should have taken it from a different angle to show that. As for species, it's a Winged Elm tree. The limbs look more flat instead of round. This is because of some bark growth that grows out from the sides, hence the term "winged". See the links:

Hey Kebo...If you had access to a tree borer tool, you could pull a plug out of it, then count the rings.

My guess...about 12 years judging by the way trees grow after being clearcut.
