Growth rings

Growth rings
BAOBAB trees produce faint growth rings, probably annually, but they are not reliable for aging specimens, because they are difficult to count and may fade away as the wood ages. Radiocarbon dating has provided data on a few individuals of A. digitata. The Panke baobab in Zimbabwe was some 2,450 years old when it died in 2011, making it the oldest angiosperm ever documented, and two other trees — Dorslandboom in Namibia and Glencoe in South Africa — were estimated to be approximately 2,000 years old.[7]

Mind blowing information about these incredible and super-cool trees. I am so impressed. I really like your picture too, which shows its inaccurate age rings! *sigh* How I do love your photography, Annemarie!

You asked about Pam--she is recovering slowly...it didn't help that she had a hard fall a week ago which has set her back some, but she's making slow progress. There is a note I added in the group Pictures for Pam: www.ipernity.com/group/2420454
