Can someone please estimate an age for these trees?
These were just collected from a landscape. And there are many more that look the same. Enjoy.

31years and 4 months?

Gee, you have stumps and cannot count rings?

Usually one ring per season, though environmental conditions can sometimes make one season't rings look like two. Being dug from a landscape, though, probably means you'll be right counting one ring per season and/or one ring = one year.

I've had nothing but bad luck with this species. They like to die when you disturb their roots. I hope your experience is better than mine.

Yea will see I had some fine roots leftover but it sure was a mess. Also the rings I could count were around 10-15 years old

I'd like to hear how this goes. I have lots of kinnikinnik around here, but have heard they are very difficult to collect.
