Dendrochronology? Tree rings? Nope! Just check your calendar! 🤣
Scientists spend years mastering the art of counting tree rings to determine age - each ring represents one year of growth. But this meme brilliantly points out the ultimate shortcut: if you planted the tree yourself, just subtract the planting date from today's date and BOOM! Tree aging solved!
It's like skipping the entire forestry degree and going straight to the answer. Why examine growth patterns when you could just check your gardening journal? Work smarter, not harder!
